do I actually need Robo Server if...

Hi there

I have a "new" RH6 project that I am using to create CSH WebHelp. (I created a new RH6 project and imported topics that have been from x5 to 7 to 8 and back to 6.)  Don't ask :-)

Not asking.

Good on ya!

thewriteinfo wrote again: I have an old help system and an old Robo Server (RoboEngine for x5) out on the Production server.

Ick! I feel for ya!

thewriteinfo continues with: First question. I don't need WebHelp Pro. So I don't need  Robo Server, correct?

First answer.

NO! And you are corrrect!

WebHelp output will work just dandy on a basic web server. (Note that I said WebHelp output and not WebHelp Pro output! I'm not sure WHAT WebHelp Pro output would do or how it would behave on a basic web server.)

thewriteinfo finishes with: Second question. How do I/can I get my webhelp files out there on the server in such a way that the application will call the CSH topics and basically just circumvent the old help files/robo server entirely? thankyouverymuch...

Sure thing. See if this link helps you sort it.

Cheers... Rick
