My solution is
MS-Word for the formatting
MacDraw for the illustrations, pasted into MS-Word doc
bibref for the bibliography (on UNIX), converted/pasted into MS-Word doc
diction for the proofreading (on UNIX)
The last two UNIX steps are invoked when I'm nearly finished. Yes, I
have a modem and a UNIX account. I despise pic, so I use the
Macintosh instead. Once I've done the writing, I upload the file in
plaintext format and phrase-check it with diction. I then run bibref
to print my bibliography, download it to my document, and merge it by
hand. I think I'd rather have a citation database, than use MS-Word's
citation features.
