Grub versus Boot Manager

[Joe Malin]

As far as I can tell, Scribus is a desktop-publishing/layout application 
that does work similar to PageMaker. FrameMaker can do DTP tasks, but 
its focus is on large document creation. For instance, most of the very 
large Oracle 10 manuals (for instance, the SQL Reference is about 1800 
pages) are written in FrameMaker. I only know of one other app 
(ArborText) that is capable of doing books of that size.
