Thanks Joe!

Unfortunately the attachment was stripped off... here's the link to the pdf in

www.jazz-planet.com/miriam/techwriting.htm

It doesn't give much of a cost breakdown though - quite high level, but 
generally reassuring :-)

Another good spot for info is the techwriter site and specifically this page:
www.techwriter.com.au/candidates/beawriter.htm
