It generates very clean HTML, XML, DITA, DocBook, and numerous Help formats (including Eclipse Help and OHJ; more outputs than any of the other options, in fact). It also produces Word files that look remarkably like the Frame files from which they were made, handy for reviewers who only use Word. The free unlimited demo version is at: http://www.omsys.com/dcl/download.htm And Mif2Go comes with the best free support in the industry; who else fixes bugs on the spot (not "in the next version"), and adds features you ask for overnight? See the history.txt file there for numerous examples of those enhancements, with the names of those who asked for them. ;-) HTH! -- Jeremy H.
