Robohelp vs Webworks

[lit101]

Hi All,
I am the lone writer at a startup and I need to pick the online help tool. I showed my manager Webworks (she has no documentation background) and she thought it was very cool. Since then I have gone to the STC conference and learned that Weboworks is more of a book conversion tool and Robohelp provides the capability to structure modular files that allow users to choose their own navigation paths, browse, etc.

I want to describe the differences in a way that she can understand and visualize. Can anyone provide input that is more detailed and more basic than what appears in marketing materials?

I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

Hi lit101,

You may want to post your message on the HATT Yahoo Group forum as this is where technical authors hang out and compare tools. You are more likely to come across someone who has used both tools in anger, that's all.
