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.
PageMaker 6 (don't know about earlier) and above, like FrameMaker, can
manage separate documents as a single book, and can compile a TOC from
the member files of the book. You can designate the starting page number
of a document, so your frontmatter pieces can have their own numbers, the
first file can start at 1, and the following files can be autonumbered.

Peter Gold
