The next version of RoboHTML (version 2.0) will be shipping in the next 2
weeks and will support WebHelp, a cross platform, browser independent,
HTML based help format. RoboHTML does not use MS Word or RTF files. You
can use an existing Frame->HTML export tools to convert to HTML or HTML
help. You can then import this into RoboHTML and generate WebHelp output.
You can see an example of a WebHelp Help system at http://www.blue-sky.com/webhelp/.
A 30 day trial version of RoboHTML 2.0 will be available from our web
site (http://www.blue-sky.com) when the product is released (on or before
the week of 5/18/98). If you have additional questions, please contact
