FrameMaker is a WYSWIG editor for the Sun Workstations; as far as I know, it
is not available for the Mac. A lengthy comparison would be... lengthy;
they have quite a few similarities, but FrameMaker has more options for page
layout (connecting text rectangles, as one would in ReadySetGo!), while
FullWrite has more bibliographical features -- easier footnotes, endnotes,
indexes and table-of-contents.
Frankly, I love FrameMaker on my Sun at work; but if the FullWrite demo disk
is any indication, I think FullWrite will be the superior word processor
(FrameMaker would be a superior page layout program).
