Common applications in that field are Framemaker from FRAME Corp. and
Interleave by Interleave.  I use the former, in spite of some problems.
It has very few "compatible" file formats and some really silly approches
to how you format paragraphs.  Sometimes the user interface is a bit
complicated, but what can you expect from a complex tool? It's only black
and white. It has floating licesenses which make it quite easy to install
and manage. It didn't change from 4.0.3 to 4.1.
