It is not that hard to set it all up.
Guess I am one of the `old' die hard techwriters on Unix. :)
Used to like *roff for typesetting and nowadays just use DocBook and
stylesheets, and it works nicely in combination with Makefiles, pulling
everything together with teTeX and whatnot.
Once set up, it is easily reused for other assignments.
Best thing, no costs, yet with all the functionality you want [especially
PDF and Postscript].
