Best...?

["Leonard Marks" <merrispapa -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

Hello all...newbie here on techwr-l.  I landed the job of tech-writer
because, I think, I could run the spell-checker.  Well maybe more than
that, but I kinda fell into this.

So this is my question: I'm working with a group at the very beginning of
a long, multi-volume user documentation project.  We're just starting to
scout for DTP packages.  Everything I've heard or read recommends
FrameMaker, so that was what I advised.  But Nooooooooooooo...we've gotta
do research.  (Who knew that research was part of tech writing?)

So which DTP package is best?  Am I on the ball with FrameMaker, or should
I be looking at something else?  Is there a product you'd recommend over
FM?  Let me know...best answer gets the grand prize of three shiny linked
paper clips.

Thanks, 
Leo
