MDowling -at- WALLDATA -dot- com asked:

| Does anyone know of an authoring tool that allows you to create technical
| documents that can be deployed over windows-based and unix-based systems?
| The documents in question are user manuals. I also need to
| create helpfiles
| that can be deployed over both operating systems...

Your options include:

- RoboHELP, which can generate a cross-platform format called WebHelp (see
http://www.blue-sky.com)

- ForeHelp, which can generate a cross-platform format called InterHelp (see
http://www.forefront.com)

- WebWorks Publisher, which, combined with FrameMaker, can generate a
cross-platform format called WebWorks Help (see http://www.quadralay.com)

- Adobe Acrobat, whose PDF files can be viewed on many platforms; of course,
many people would argue--and I would tend to agree--that PDF is not really a
help format (see http://www.adobe.com)
