How does Framemaker compare?  I ran this for a couple years, and loved it.  
But it was only for relatively short technical documents (<60pp), and I can't
recall all the advanced features.

Adobe had ported framemaker to Linux some years ago.  I expect it was easy, as 
they compile for other unix varients.  They dropped it after the beta for 
whatever reason, and demanded that all beta users wipe out their 
installation.  I wonder if they've come back?

RBE, are you still having converter difficulties?  What files specifically?

cheers,

mike
