I'll say in public: if IBM is willing to let me have the source for DCF
and Bookie, I will port it to Linux for free. I want it for my own use,
and I think there are others who feel the same. 

 

For all it's warts and antiquities, DCF and Bookie are still more usable
(and a darn sight better documented) than any of the Linux alternatives.
DocBook is a lame, lame piece of work by comparison. Bookie was written
by people who actually had to PRODUCE large amounts of docs. If DCF
could produce PDF directly, I'd be thrilled.
