I have just started playing around with a demo version of The Publisher.  (The
demo is a full-blown version, except that you cannot save the files you edit.)

It's a beautiful program.  But it took a considerable amount of time just to
start up on a Sun-3/160 (the software was on an Eagle NFSed from a VAX-785,
over an unloaded Ethernet).  You need at least 10 megabytes, if I recall, for
the main part -- more if you want options, such as TeX & LaTeX conversion
facilities. 

If ArborText could indeed make one fit on an Amiga, my current dilemma of
choosing machines for the department office would be resolved.  But...
