🚀 go-pugleaf

 I'm sure I am entering this discussion late, however after returning
 from SUG '87 in San Jose last week I began wondering who was using
 what WYSIWYG package and why...

 Here is what I have to date-

   We currently have a couple copies of Frame in use w/ a fair degree of success
   however, the reason we have so few copies at this point is cost.

   Both Interleaf and Frame have costs of ~$2,000- or more per copy.

   Key features for all three include
  
     * That they run under SunOs 3.2 or later and can be used within Suntools.
     * Can provide Postscript output.
     * Except import from existing formats, TeX, Nroff, Sunraster, etc.
     * Local and global style modifications.
     * Auto-indexing & TOC, dictionary, and equation package.
  
   ArborText seems to offer a couple of advantages over the others-

     The first is cost, for multiple copies of 25 or more the price is
     about half that of Frame or Interleaf.
     Second ArborText's equation editor, which they say is a key feature
     of their package, appears to be the best available.
     
 As it stands all three packages to offer quite a lot of performance
 but the cost per copy is what seems to be holding their use back.

 It would be nice to here comments from people out there using these packages
 either by e-mail or a follow-up..
