OT: online help with automatic updates

[Scott Prentice]

Other than developing this system yourself, the only off-the-shelf 
system I know of that does this is Adobe's AIR Help. Flare does offer a 
"WebHelp AIR" output option .. not sure if they have hooked up the 
auto-update functionality though (I'm thinking not .. but it might be 
possible to hack it to work).

RoboHelp's AIR Help offers this functionality out of the box, and you 
can also home brew it by developing your own custom AIR Help. For more 
info on this ..
