I don't understand.

If you create the help in AuthorIT, then what happens to the Doc-2-Help
legacy help system is that it goes away--you no longer use it.

Cheers,

Sean

We have a legacy on-line help system for our modular Housing System
created
2 years ago using Doc-2-Help. I am looking at recreating and updating
this
help system using AuthorIT.

I want to release the new help files per module but I am unsure what
happens
to the legacy help system?

Has anyone encountered such a problem? Does anyone have any ideas on the
best way forward for this?
