Usage of WebWorks (ePublisher)
I can't resist either. I must bring closure to part of this thread, just in case somebody has a time machine accident or stumbles into a worm-hole and finds themself back in 1986. :-) There were several ways to eject a disk on a Mac. 1) Select the disk icon and choose Put Away. 2) Select the disk and choose Command-e or Eject. (Newer Finder versions) 3) Press Command-Shift-1. 4) Drag the icon to the trash. If the normal methods weren't working, you would just hold down the mouse button when you started up the computer. The paper clip was a last resort for cases like a dead power supply. If a disk got corrupted, the usual problem was a corrupted "desktop" file. That's the hidden file with the disk content database. To rebuild this file, you held down the Command (pretzel) and Option keys when you inserted the disk. You'd be asked if you wanted to rebuild the desktop file. Click OK, and most of the time you were back in business. It goes to Jeremy's point -- to get the best results from a tool, you need to learn as much about it as you can. E-mail lists like this help make that easier today than it was in 1986. Steve

Patrick, My opinion, and experience, with Mif2Go is just the opposite. I have been using Mif2Go for several years and have learned how to use the User's Guide. Yes, it takes a while to find things, sometimes, but this is because Mif2Go can do a lot. If you install Mif2Go and just take the default configuration file, you will get very close to the finished product.

Just charge "them" the time you spend (waste) on doing the job without the right tools. I'm sure you will come up with a figure which is a multiple of the price of MIF2Go (or even WebWorks ePublisher). Both MIF2Go and WebWorks ePublisher are GREAT value for money.

Opinions are like... noses. Everyone has one, but some are bigger than others. I respectfully disagree with SOME of the webworks bashing. - It's true that Webworks has the worst support...on the planet. In fact, I wouldn't even call it support. Example, if you have trouble installing webworks, expect to pay for a support case to get help. What? Yes, you heard me correctly. And their installation instructions are lousy and obviously missing key information: specifically, no mention of the fact that your install will fail if you have multiple versions of frame on your machine, something I assume is pretty common with Frame users. - the user guide is more like a functional specification than a user guide; it tells you about every function the program has, it just doesn't tell you how you might use them in the REAL world. - They have a Draconian licensing structure. A real PIA. - Webworks is a company I love to hate. If there were anything better and easier to use, I'd buy it in a minute. Which leads to my disagreement. I don't think you can beat epublisher pro for ease-of-use. If you need to convert a frame doc AND you want to have a single source for content, and you have one day, epub will get you there quite nicely. There is no doubt that webworks software is a little quirky, but I've used it since 1998 and epub is a great improvement and VERY easy to use. Example: I had a project with an engineering firm that wanted to convert a large suite of documents to html format, several thousand pages in all. Also, they wanted to be able to maintain this on their own once I got everything set up. On the one hand, I could save them a LOT of money up front by buying Mif2go, and I downloaded it and spent several days reading and scratching my head. Sure, it would work. But imagine it's 1986 and you are in a computer store looking at computers. One the hand, you have DOS with it's blinking cursor waiting for instructions from you. If only you knew what those instructions were. On the other hand, you have a Mac Plus, it's friendly face and graphic interface inviting you to experiment. Both computers will pretty much do what you want, the big difference being ease of use and cost. Macs were easier to use and cost a LOT more (I'm not trying to start a windows v mac battle here: I use both and think they are now pretty even on ease of use). So, if you are a techie, the kind of person who likes UNIX command line, perl script, and is familiar with java scripts and code, you can probably get mif2go to do what you want, but it will take TIME and time = $. If you are in a big hurry, or prefer a program that will give you great conversions, from scratch, in about 3 hours, epublisher is a better bet. Money = Saved Time. For the engineering firm, I chose epublisher pro. If figured the days or weeks it would take us to figure out mif2go would offset the cost of webworks publisher. I don't even consider Robo Help as it's not really a single source solution and I've ALWAYS hated the program's interface. I don't even like the name ;) -- Pat Fortino writenowdesign.com >>| - Website Design - Joomla Website Design - Ecommerce Websites - Technical Writing Get Firefox, a Safer, Faster, and Better Browser

I'm surprised with your install comments. I had no problem installing the last version of ePub, and I had two versions of FM on my computer. Do you mean updates or fresh installation? I've never had to call about support, but WW is pretty responsive to questions on the Yahoo wwp user group. But you are right about their documentation. Considering who their target market is, they could/should do a lot better than that. I think they rely a bit too heavily on actual users creating and uploading articles to their wiki.

Right you are! Webworks 7.0 Standard simply chops up the Framemaker file into HTML files at the level you specify (ChapTitle, Heading1, Heading2) and also saves all your graphics as .gif files with major color and pixellation problems (and also restores all scaled drawings to their original, in some cases immense, proportions).

Just charge "them" the time you spend (waste) on doing the job without the right tools. I'm sure you will come up with a figure which is a multiple of the price of MIF2Go (or even WebWorks ePublisher). Both MIF2Go and WebWorks ePublisher are GREAT value for money.

Hi Nancy, I would recommend purchasing the technical communications suite 2.0 and then using RoboHelp to create your help system. RoboHelp has built-in functionality to import FrameMaker books directly into RoboHelp projects and then generate HTML files from the Frame files in the book. I have done this myself successfully, and as a bonus you can create Adobe AIR applications for your help system as well. Now there's a couple caveats to this recommendation. I am NOT suggesting that RoboHelp is the best HAT out there, Mif2go is an excellent tool as is Madcap Flare. However, if you already have to use Acrobat Professional and FrameMaker, then you might as well purchase the suite and get the most bang for your buck (the combined cost of acrobat and FM equals the suite). While RH may not be the best tool out there is certainly good enough for creating a help system. On the other hand, if you aren't using FM and Acrobat professional, then my advice may not appply. -- Sincerely, Joseph Lorenzini

I second John's views, and to some extent Zoe's. Mif2GO is a great tool, and it's priced right. If you want to pay a lot more, you could consider ePublisher. People seem to like it, and XML-based publishing is definitely the way of the future. WWP 7 Standard Edition is obsolete. Don't waste your time learning it.

Usage of WebWorks (ePublisher)
We abandoned WebWorks in favor of Mif2Go a couple of years ago. Mif2Go can do more things and is much cheaper. It doesn't look as slick and was harder to learn to the 80% mark, but WebWorks always had some bizarre things that I never did get used to. Mif2Go has awesome support, which WebWorks never could say when I was using it.

Usage of WebWorks (ePublisher)
WW hasn't shipped with Frame for two releases; the publishers have changed the name and product significantly with ePublisher. And as far as Standard WW goes, it doesn't support modified templates, so it's of limited usefulness. And I don't think it was ever in common use -- it was a freebie from a third party that Adobe threw into the package as a stop-gap until it got its act together to provide a stronger tool. I wouldn't bother learning it at this point unless an employer who hasn't moved forward requires it.

Re: Usage of WebWorks (ePublisher)
I second John's views, and to some extent Zoe's. Mif2GO is a great tool, and it's priced right. If you want to pay a lot more, you could consider ePublisher. People seem to like it, and XML-based publishing is definitely the way of the future. WWP 7 Standard Edition is obsolete. Don't waste your time learning it.

Re: Usage of WebWorks (ePublisher)
I'm with Zoë. I've been using WW/ePublisher for quite some time. I've also used RoboHelp X5, but it's not the appropriate tool for me. The yahoo user group that Zoë mentioned is a fantastic resource, and you usually get your questions answered very quickly. The WW folks also participate in that group. Once you've set up a project, and got it looking the way that you want it to look, ePublisher provides a good inline, just-click-a-button process, IMHO. WW has also announced that they are adding the ability to format PDF output from within ePublisher. If they pull that one off (and it meets my expectations of how it should work), we'll eat like kings (*nyuck*).

Re: Usage of WebWorks (ePublisher)
To the best of my knowledge, help conversion tools produced by the Quadralay/Webworks company (they've rebranded, and I never remember what their 'real' name is) are still in common use. However, I do not believe that Quadralay/Webworks is really actively supporting 7.0 that much (or if they are, for very much longer). In version 9 (rebranded to ePublisher), they completely changed their paradigm, so most anything you'd learn in 7.0 would not be useful in current versions of ePublisher (current version is 2008.4). Also, you can not edit your styles, etc. with Standard Edition. It will convert your Frame to help and that's it, you can't really customize at all. I strongly believe in ePubisher. The paradigm shift has moved it towards a publishing engine, so you can point it at FrameMaker, Word, XML, or combination of files and generate output. If you're willing to learn XSL, you can customize their output choices to do almost anything you want. For more information about Webworks and ePublisher, poke around on www.webworks.com and the yahoo user group, wwp-users. There's also wiki.webworks.com which goes into a lot of nitty gritty details about customizing ePublisher. You can contact me off list if you have other questions.
