[comp.os.vms] Producing .hlp and .tex files together

KARNEY%PPC.MFENET@NMFECC.ARPA (04/17/87)

I'm tired of having to maintain two sets of computer documentation, namely
online HELP documentation and a manual that is processed by TeX.  So I'm
interested in software that can convert a single source document into
    (1) a VAX/VMS .hlp file
    (2) a TeX input file
(Possibly the source document is the TeX input file.)  The closest thing I
know of is GnuEmacs TeXinfo package which can produce both Emacs INFO files
from a specially formatted TeX file.  (Also, I believe the RUNOFF can be
made to produce both .mem and .hlp files from the same source.)

Any suggestions, pointers, solutions?
