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

[grant at hedgewizard.net]

   Here is another vote for a separate file per chapter.  Also make your
   images references and resize them (120ppi and less than your page width
   is a good rule of thumb).

     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).
