Dov, Steve, Steve, Joe, John, et. al - 

Thanks for the responses. I have what I need to help my colleague format 
an articulate, succinct discussion about why Framemaker should stay.

Thanks again,

TVB

Tammy,
 
Joe Malin, Steve Rickaby, et al. are correct about the Rational SODA tool 
– it is not an authoring tool, but rather more of a collaboration tool.
 
I worked in a sw dev team a few years ago, where Rational Suite was the 
standard. The Rational SODA piece is supposed to take content from the 
other Rational Suite artifacts such as requirements docs, and 
‘auto-generate’ your document artifacts for you. BTW, Rational is supposed 
to work with Frame, but I never tried it.
 
We didn’t use it (since our authoring tool was MS Word, it was way too 
labor-intensive and error-prone).
