Has anyone ever heard of or had experience with a UNIX
based word processor called Word Era by Tigera Corp? They
claim to be powerful enough to use for producing quality
documentation/user manuals (however they are not WYSIWYG).
I would be interested in hearing from anyone who knows
anything about this product (especially with personal experience).
My company is considering several options for moving our
vi/troff-based documentation department to a WYSIWYG system
like Pagemaker with MAC or Ventura with IBM-type PC.
I've heard that Pagemaker is not necessarily the best DTP
program for large manuals. Is that still the case with
the latest version (on the MAC)?
Anyone who could share their experiences in switching from
vi/troff system to DTP for manuals, etc. (problems, noticeable
increase/decrease in productivity, etc.) - I would greatly
appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
