[authors] fm for Macintosh or UNIX available cheap

[Gary Schnabl]

BTW, FrameMaker 7.0 is available for the Macintosh. And recent UNIX 
versions of FrameMaker are also available. Anything in the FM7 series 
should be cheap via eBay. FrameMaker 8 or 9 would not be necessary for 
DocBook, as even the "ancient" (still used in some houses) pre-2002 FM 6 
would suffice.

Google "XML editors" for searching several free or cheap shareware XML 
editors (48,000 hits--add freeware and there are still 16,000 hits).

Just get the appropriate DocBook DTD or other schema and start 
converting any OOo documents into DocBook XML. However, a very detailed 
OOo-to-DocBook style guide would be necessary so that useful structured 
documents result.
