I have looked at FrameMaker and Arbortex's WYSIWYG and I am disturbed
at Frame's attitude toward pricing.  The very best that they were ever
able to do was at a per workstation cost that seems unacceptable for
any site whose primary business is not publishing.  They have not
budged in over a year of dealing with them on a reasonable site
license.  I am not looking to rip anyone off, but there is no way I
am going to dedicate a few specific workstations for "word processing." 
And there is no way I am going to pay their fairly large fee for each
and every workstation at my site.

My understanding is that Arbortex is a bit more progressive in regard
to licensing.  I have heard that they will offer a "site" license with
the understanding that no more than the agreed upon number of users
will use the product simultaneously.  My only problem with the
Arbortex product is that we are not a TeX site, so I would take some
time to get up to speed there.

Speaking of WYSIWYG for Suns, I have heard that Sun plans on using a
"Frame Like" product for all of the one-line documentation.  Does
anyone know any details about this.  Does this mean that such a
product will need to be purchased to read on-line manual pages etc?
It would be nice if it was competitively priced.....
