The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Check out Revision Master from my company, Diehl Graphsoft. I think it would be ideal for you. Version 2.0 will be available soon, but if you purchase 1.0 ($99 single, $260 5-pack) the upgrade to 2.0 is free (2.0 new will be more expensive). 2.0 will include all of your requirements except for workflow. We are finding, from some anecdotal feedback, that workflow can be more of a burden than a benefit unless you are a major corporation with several hundred users. Even if that is the case, I still suggest taking a look. Check out www.diehlgraphsoft.com. Contact me off list if you have any further questions or need more information.

Subject: Document Management
I am currently looking for good software to support a repository of Word =
files for a client. I am looking at quite a wide range of options and =
would be delighted to hear comments on Lotus Notes Domino.doc, Interleaf =
RDM, other major repository management systems and more homespun =
approaches using, e.g. MS Access, or entirely other methods which I =
haven't thought of yet.
The ideal solution will include company-wise intranet access, workflow =
type facilities for document development, a means of storing management =
information about documents, search facilities, tracking of documents =
and version control.
