RE: FOSS like FrameMaker

["technical writing plus" <doc-x -at- earthlink -dot- net>]

[1] Glad that someone remembered Lyx-I couldn't remember the name, earlier
today. I knew it was a short computer-esque sounding name. 

[2] I was going to suggest Latex as a very close approximation, in the FOSS
world, to Framemaker. I think that most technical publications people would
not know of Latex simply because it is academically-oriented.  

[3] By the way, what is an 'overlay'?
