My department has concluded that we need two different types of online help systems--one within the applications, and one that stands alone. Using .chms will be helpful for the Windows community, but not for the UNIX groups, of which there are many.

Does anyone know of a way to provide a standalone system for UNIX platforms?

Our merged WebHelp is supported on Windows, Linux, and Solaris, with no issues raised yet.

Good luck,

Keep in mind that Adobe has very poor support for Flash in the non-Windows environments and that Flash has a proven track record of not being too secure (as in three "critical" patches last week alone). Take a look at the WebHelp format and limit the bells and whistles.

I think my offline reply to you indicated FlashHelp would work on Unix. It is not a single file being more like webhelp but it will run on many platforms.
