Silver-level Sponsor. Find EC Software at:
http://www.ec-software.com

EC Software, located near Salzburg in Austria, is the maker of
the award-winning Help & Manual help authoring tool and the TNT
screen capture application. Originally released in 1997,
Help & Manual was the first help authoring tool that could create
multiple online help formats, PDFs and printed documentation from
the same source project, in one easy step. The programs unique
combination of ease of use and professional help authoring
capabilities have made it very popular with software developers,
professional help authors and corporate documentation departments.

Today, Help & Manual is one of the best selling documentation
tools worldwide. In addition to the programs ability to produce
documentation in almost all the worlds languages this popularity
is also due in no small part to EC Softwares outstanding support,
which receives constant praise from users.

The company is currently gearing up to produce version 5 of
Help & Manual, which represents another very major step forward.
Among other things, this version will switch to XML as the primary
save format, enabling true multi-user editing, reusable content
libraries and the ability to save projects directly in versioning
repositories.

Welcome and thanks to EC Software as a returning TECHWR-L Silver Sp
onsor!
