TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Also, the FrameMaker 5.5.6 demo (Windows version, I think) is included in
the CD that comes with FrameMaker 5.5.6 for Dummies, by IDG books.
<opinion>I think the FrameMaker demo will turn-off more buyers than it will
entice. As I understand it, the FrameMaker demo is hobbled such that you
cannot save files. If you cannot save, you cannot use some of FrameMaker's
strongest features: book building and regeneration, TOC creation, index
creation . . .. Add to that, the lack of documentation, the lack of any
point of reference, the non-traditional GUI, and the learning curve for
non-DTPers . . ..</opinion>.
If you do get the demo, please use the references I mentioned for support .
. .. Also, anybody, please tell me that FrameMaker has changed it's v6 demo
to permit saves.
Cheers,
Sean
