I am looking at software combinations for doing long research papers. What
I need is something that can handle footnotes, endnotes, bibliography,
tables (and auto table numbering), no equations, etc. Possible combinations
I am considering are:

FrameMaker
MS Word 5 + Endnote
WordPerfect + Endnote
Nisus + ?
TeX (NOT)

Any comments pro or con on these products? any alternatives I should
consider? 
Also, I am looking for something in software that can replace the usual
collection of notecards that goes with doing research papers. I guess some
sort of simplified database would be appropriate; I could probably hack one
in FileMaker Pro, but is there something already out there? Is endnote
suitable for this sort of thing?


Thanks in advance,

Tom
