Yeah, I saw that there was now a RoboHelp for FrameMaker. The other tech
writers here have had such an issue with the RoboHelp suite (trouncing on
other Help projects, bloated HTML, poor network support) that we ruled out
RfF; also, Macromedia's purchase of eHelp threw some more uncertainty into
the mix vis-a-vis support issues.

Has anyone else used RoboHelp for FrameMaker and had a good experience?

You may care to look at a single-sourcing combination of FrameMaker source
files (also for print and PDF) and RoboHelp for FrameMaker for generating
online help.  That way you get FrameMaker's powerful conditions for
producing custom subsets of documentation for different markets plus a very
easy help generator --- MUCH easier than either mif2go or WebWorks.
