This seems to be a growing problem with Macromedia software. The sheer
expense - particularly outside of North America. Despite the strong Aussie
dollar MM software (as agood as it is) is very expensive. I recently
purchased FeedDemon from Bradsoft (TopStyle - HomeSite) and it is a bargain
at AUD$42.00. It's a pity that alot of other great software costs more than
most people can afford.

DocBook does that too (html and pdf), but RoboHelp does do Flash and
some other quite spiffy things and seems to integrate into other
programs. However, he was looking for something other then RoboHelp
because it's too expensive. You said you used to use RoboHelp (man I
keep thinking of RoboCop everytime I see it), what do you use now?
