Usage of WebWorks (ePublisher)

[Yves Barbion]

Just charge "them" the time you spend (waste) on doing the job without the
right tools. I'm sure you will come up with a figure which is a multiple of
the price of MIF2Go (or even WebWorks ePublisher). Both MIF2Go and WebWorks
ePublisher are GREAT value for money.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, even when Jeremy is so generous as
to offer one. ;-)

Cheers
