[Framers] Pros/Cons: Separate file per chapter, or one REALLY BIG FILE for an entire book

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Lin,

No question in my mind: Separate files for each chapter, mainly because it
easier to author, reorganize, and maintain separate FrameMaker documents.
FrameMaker books work quite well for organizing documents. Please let me
know if you have any questions or comments.

Pretty much what it says in the title. I'm guessing there have been
discussions about this in the past, and I plan to look for those, but I
thought I'd toss this out there anyway.

We're talking chapters that can run a couple hundred (or more) pages loaded
with tables, graphics, and conditional text so that they can be used to
single-source multiple documents (no, don't talk to me about DITA, my
non-tech-writing boss wants it in unstructured).
