How should help/documentation be provided in the new Digital Atmosphere Workstation version? Vote for which way we'll go.
* The Windows help file is what we have been using for the past five years. The main drawback is it doesn't have structure, and is not practical to print out. It's also harder for me to add content to it since I have to use a specialized editor.
* The printable book form would have better content, and would be a PDF printable on any printer. Users would be able to buy a bound copy at minor cost (about $10). We might leave a basic bare bones Windows help system in place.
