Hello,
I am posting this to a collegue. Please respond directly to her or to

Here is the question.
We want to create online help for our applications that run on both UNIX
and MACs. We would like to use a help authoring tool such as ForeHelp,
Doc-to-Help or RoboHelp, but we need one that can produce cross-platform
online help.
From the research I have done so far, it seems like WebHelp or NetHelp
are possible solutions. Does anyone know if these work well? Is there
another way to produce cross-platform online help?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please email me
personally since I do not belong to the tech writer list.
Thanks,
Lynda
