   We are currently looking at getting knowledge broaker and would like
   comments from people who are using it.


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.
