Using WebWorks Professional (not Standard Edition), you can produce WinHelp
source files that can be opened in RoboHELP, ForeHelp, or any other Help
Authoring Tool. But why bother? You can set up your WebWorks Publisher
template to produce the exact WinHelp output that you want, wthout ever
bringing it into another tool.
