Yeah my experience with X3 was you import and create from the import an
entire base line help system. I cannot tell you what it did to FrameMaker
files, although it did a good job with word files (I would hazard a guess at
describing it as an 'excellent' job but won't lay a reputation on that).
You then output from RH, using it as a form of single source software. I
never tried that either, although it was good enough to probably do a
reasonable job.
I think we had a demo version which had cut down output etc.
I'm not sure, in any case, we purchased X3 soon after.

Hi Warren -
Thanks for your suggestion.
Am I right in thinking that with RHFM you maintain the content (and mapping
rules?) in Frame and push it out to a help system as required, whereas with
RH you do a one-off import from Frame then maintain and output the help
system from there?
The client already has one RHFM licence (it's being used by their staff TW)
so I expect they'll want to keep using it till it becomes problematic for
some reason. This really isn't a big job so I can't justify shelling out
~$1500 for RH Office from my own pocket. That's why I'm hoping to pick up a
second-hand copy of RHFM.
Cheers
Stuart
