From article <1989Oct27.013038.20902@sq.sq.com>, by lee@sq.sq.com (Liam R. E. Quin):
: And neither, of course, is troff:
: AT&T may have frozen Documenter's WorkBench, but companies such as Image
: Networks, Elan and SoftQuad Inc. are continuing development.
: 
: Probably SoftQuad have made the most visible changes (all of the vendors
: retainiong compatibility with older versions as far as I am aware), but
: none of the products are in any way static.

Just curious, but ... how much do these packages cost?  At my company
software comes out of a different money pool than computer accounts with
FTP access.  And, it is harder than h*** to get money for software upgrades.

Unless the answer is *free by anonymous FTP or equivalent* I think I will
take TeX.
