We are currently looking at getting knowledge broaker and would like comments from people who are using it. I mostly interested in 1. How is the speed of the product? 2. Does it include online Apollo documentation? 3. Is it node locked? 4. Is it easy/hard to add your own information? 5. Can ASCII terminals use it? 6. Disk space usage? 7. Other? I would also welcome general comments about the prodect. Thanks -- Roger E. Benz Phone = (217) 223-3211 Quintron Corporation Quincy, Il UUCP: tiamat!quintro!reb@uunet or quintro!reb@lll-winken

Apollo sales told us months ago that our DELPHI documentation view
software would be upgraded for free to the Knowledge Broker environment
but we have not received any updates. I assume this would include only
runtime features and not the development environment.
Has anybody received such a package? Is this another premature promise?

There are 3 different knowledge broker packages that I know of (because we
got all 3).
1) Knowledge Broker reader: just the software to read data from an existing
KB data base.
2) Knowledge Broker intro kit: The reader and the same set of manuals that were
in the Delphi kit. (This is the Delphi upgrade kit, I think that you
have to order it.)
3) Knowledge Broker publisher: The reader and the tools needed to create KB
manuals.
If you get 2) or 3), then you automaticaly have the stuff from 1), so don't
bother ordering it. We didn't know this and so ordered all 3 packages. 2) is
big, its AA took almost 60 megabytes. 3) has filters so it can import stuff
from Interleaf documents. I've loaded the AAs but haven't had time to try it
out, so I don't know how well it works.
