RE: HAT recommendations
I have used both RoboHelp and Flare...started using Flare this past
September after doing what you are doing..asking for opinions on this
list! I LOVE Flare! I am constantly amazing myself with what Flare can do,
and even better, what I can do with Flare! I have found every feature to
be straight forward and easy to use! Also, Madcap is great to work with! I
am sure you will get more detailed recommendations on here, but I will be
short and to the point! I love and highly recommend Flare!
