Yes, FreamMaker is very expensive.  It's about 5K a pop for a shared
license on a network.  About 1000 for a single use license.  But Frame is
such a good program, I used in school and at work.

As for Linux versions.  If large companies like IBM and Intel start using
Linux/FreeBSD for desktop work it's indeed possible.  I think it's a
matter of time.  Intel I know uses Frame heavily for technical
documentation.
