Seems like an appropriate topic to me. I'd start with Netscape (the
company). You might also use this as an opportunity to try to get your
company to buy Blue Sky's WinHelp Office 4 (the suite that includes
RoboHelp). The following is an excerpt from their description of WHO4:
"The easy way to move to HTML based Help! With the new
Moving-to-HTML-Help tool, you can easily move from Windows Help to HTML
based Help with just one mouse click. Moving-to-HTML-Help automatically
converts any Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows NT Help files into
HTML based Help files. Moving-to-HTML-Help fully supports the emerging
HTML based Help standards: Microsoft HTML Help and Netscape NetHelp.

I realize that this isn't exactly on topic, but I don't know where else
to
to inquire, so...
Does anyone here work with Netscape's NetHelp? Can you tell me where I
might
turn to learn more in a hurry? I've been informed that our department
is about to change direction and as the sole writer on staff, it'll be
my
job to learn all about NetHelp, start writing my help files in it, and
teach the developers what they need to know to implement my help
systems.
Yikes!
Anyway, you might as well respond privately since I suspect this
a) is off-topic, or
b) have been covered thoroughly when I wasn't looking.
Thanks, all!
Regards,
Misti Anslin Tucker
