Framemaker may not be absolutely necessary for a job in Portland, but
the majority of the job ads ask for it and it is being used in a
number of the software firms in the area.

Uhhh, I don't think so. Last time I checked, Portland was still considered
part of the Pacific Northwest. If you came to our company without
FrameMaker experience, we wouldn't be the least bit bothered by it.
We use Interleaf. And we use CyberLeaf for our web publishing (in the
Measurements divsion, I don't know about the Color Printer or Video
Networking divisions).
