Ok, let's try this one more time; I think I've been sending it to the wrong
address.

Hi:
I sent this a couple of days ago, but got no response, so I am assuming it
didn't get there for some reason.
Here goes--sorry if this a repetition...I have a client who wants to be able
to access an on-line version of the paper documentation set. They want users
to be able to print a topic or the entire manual from their PCs. I read the
comprehensive article on Publishing without Paper in PC Magazine and also
reviewed the CD version (both excellent sources, by the way), but I found the
products to be a bit more high-end then I want or need.
Envoy and Acrobat seem to be for cross-platform publishing, and this would be
strictly on the PC. Folio VIEWS and Lotus SmarText seem expensive, and quite
frankly, much more than is required for the job. Has anyone had experience
with this? Can you offer any advice on possible solutions?
