Subject:  Text Preparation in Software Engineering

I'm working on a text book aimed at those about to graduate and
work as "Software Engineers".  It covers Technical skills rather
than management and is targetted at Computer Scientists with no *real*
experience.

QUESTION: What tools do you use to prepare documentation?
Sample(?) answers: TeX,
                A Muckintosh with WordPuke, A PC with MSWeird,....
                NOTHING - real engineers don't document dumbo!
                nroff/troff with tbl/eqn and the -xyz macros
