I'd second all of Robert's comments except the last one about FM going downhill. <div><br></div><div>FM 11 is solid, fast, and enhances or adds important new or missing features. It's likely to be one of the "keeper" releases.</div>
<div><div><br></div><div>But if you are a small shop that does mostly online help or other online deliverables, Flare's workable, but in larger departments or for a wider variety of media, it's more borderline.</div>

FrameMaker's stronger for PDF. RoboHelp works fine for generating help<br>
from FrameMaker files though I prefer MIF2Go as it's more flexible.<br>
<br>
Flare's help search engine is weak or at least was up to 7.1. I don't<br>
much care for the way it forces you to put each topic in a separate<br>
file.<br>
<br>
FrameMaker has been going downhill from version 9 on, personally I<br>
would be disinclined to buy it. I'm hoping to dump it in favor of<br>
Confluence 4 one of these days.<br>
