RE: Documentation Options

Doug,

I am going up to Rochester to work on the documentation for IBM's San 
Francisco project next month.  It is my understanding that it will all be HTML 
based.  If you can wait, I will be happy to let you know what tool they are 
using and how easy it is to use.  If you haven't heard from me by the middle 
of the month, shoot me an email (that means I forgot to get back to you...).

Thanks,

Jb

Subject:        Documentation Options

Does anyone know of a package that allows someone to create
application documentation that would be available from an AS/400 HTTP
server? What I would like to end up with is something similiar to
IBM's online manuals available over the Internet. A good example
would be IBM 5494 on-line documentation.

Is there an IBM application that helps create this? We currently have
'help' available from the application itself, but we are exploring
the option of making it available in other ways. An IBM rep suggested
using Lotus Notes. If we did, would an end-user be required to run
Notes on their 400 or PC? I'd rather just have the HTML docs
available to any browser with access to their 400 HTTP server
cabability.
