Or is there some other desktop publishing : system that runs on a free Unix (besides LaTeX and troff)? I hear there's a Framemaker for SCO which runs on Linux - I've never tried to run SCO binaries on Linux, and I'm not sure how FreeBSD handles SCO binaries although the handbook indicates that it can. Since Frame costs a bundle, why not try something like TeX/LaTeX, which can really brighten your day ... and you'll know that it works without spending all that cash for naught? :-) You might even try the Andrew system which is included with FreeBSD. I asked about Frame source / Frame "free" betas about two years ago on comp.unix.programmer / comp.unix.? and they nearly laughed me all the way across North America to the Pacific. :-) -- Nathan V.
