So, this is my question.. Which of these packages
LaTex,OsTec, Quark Xpress, Pagemaker or Framemaker 
should I be using for text processing?

Actually this should probably be broken down into
several categories..
1, We need a version of Tex (with the macros= textures?) at
our facility - Ostec has been recommended to meet this need 
on the Mac.. How portable is this between Unix and the Mac?
completely? just FTP?

2. We also need a desktop publishing package and
I've been hearing that Quark Xpress is the way to go
(over Pagemaker, which I happen to be familiar with),
however, what is FrameMaker offering us? is it
supposed to take the place of either of these two 
packages?

3.  Should the Ostec/Latex people be using Frame 
on the Mac, or are they just two different beasts.



There you have it, 
another case of my ignorance..

Thanks for any help,

Bob Steffen
