We have an article in the next issue about cross platform
documentation strategies. We'd like to mention commercial
tools that would be helpful to our readers.

Perhaps you use, sell, or know of documentation tools that work
on multiple platforms, or have features (like conditional text)
that are helpful when writing manuals for multiple platforms.
We are also interested in add-ons packages for major word processors
that help in cross platform use.

I am aware of FrameMaker (and FrameBuilder), Word Perfect,
MS Word (adapted/emulated on Sun and HP-UX), Nroff, and TEX.

What other pertinant products are there?
