Re: Two Questions

1. I am maintaining the documentation for a similar product and am using
RoboHELP Office (which includes HTML Edition and Classic).  You can create
and maintain several online Help formats with the RoboHELP HAT.

2. We worked with the print vendor to ensure that our FrameMaker files were
printed correctly. This involved testing a few printer drivers before we
found one that produced the same results on the vendor's Docutech system.
We subsequently generated print files from our FrameMaker books and
delivered them to the print vendor on diskette.  As a result, the manuals
that came back from the vendor contained no surprises.
