Tammy - I consulted my help person who did a Framemaker -> RTF -> CHM job for me years back; she comments... >Ever curious, I had a quick google and Helpsmith seems to still exist as a >product, so not sure what the issue is in finding more. Website is: >https://www.helpsmith.com/ and there seems to be a lot info there. It does >all look a bit familiar and I think I might have evaluated or maybe even >used an early version coming on 20 years ago when I was at AIT. My >reservation about this sort of tool at the time was that you are tied into >the tool for your source, so if [you are] hoping to get the client back on >the straight and narrow youd'd need to look at how much is preserved in the >available outputs for potential conversion back to where you'd feel more >comfortable. My take these days is it would be easiest to buy a copy of the >tool to maintain what is there and avoid an argument. If you understand >Framemaker and Webworks I'm sure the learning curve would be very short.
