With due respect for Jeremy, whom I esteem greatly, I think he may have
overstated the case. You can get CHM output from oXygen with a few mouse
clicks, and you can easily customize its appearance using CSS. There are
also some ready-made parameter controls in oXygen, for example to create
breadcrumbs (although I just tried that option and I don't see them in
the output).
If you want to go further than that, you can either develop your XSLT
skills -- which is a wise strategy, but one you should view as long-term
-- or you can develop your Mif2Go/DITA2Go skills, which is a much easier
challenge and one that gives you almost as much control of the output.
(And if you're missing a control, Jeremy often adds one for you in an
amazingly short time.)

Can't you output to CHM using oXygen?
Sure, in the same sense that you can create
a large Web site using only Notepad. ;-)
So...um...like...are you saying that I'm doin' it rong?
I'd say if someone has a looming deadline,
that is **not** the time to start learning
how to customize the OT... LOL!
I was just inquiring. I'm using oXygen to learn XML and XSLT stuff, but I've
not explored it's DITA capabilities to any great degree. I thought CHM output
was there, but didn't know if it was useful or not. The OP mentioned
restricting spending. I thought if he already had access to CHM output, why not
use that.
Oh well.
