My experience is that FrameMaker's faster than anything else. I use a
Macintosh IIci (without a cache card) and I've integrated our in-house style
guide as well as the style guides of all of my publishers into FrameMaker's
online help system. It's very effective *and* convenient.
The view-only version of FrameMaker is called FrameReader. There's also a
FrameViewer product for UNIX boxes.
