We run both systems (20+ writers and developers) because two of our

clients.)
In the 1990s I used Epic at Thomson Corporation, a publisher, and I
currently use it at UGS Corp., a manufacturing software company. You

To add to Alan's comments, I've had numerous aerospace clients who choose
Arbortext for editing, but Frame for output.
