I'm not sure if you'd find it by digging in Wikipedia, but to put your
point in context, it helps to know that in the early days of unix and
FrameMaker, as with the early days of CP/M, each hardware manufacturer
had a proprietary version of the OS, which required software to be
written, converted, adapted, or "ported" to run on it. To sell these
adamantly-independent hardware platforms, their manufacturers like
Pyramid, Sequent, CGI, NeXT, and others PAID BIG BUCKS to companies
like Frame Technology, Sybase, and others whose software they wanted
to offer to attract customers. NeXT even bundled FrameMaker 3.x with
its machines.
I don't remember FrameMaker being bundled with NeXT boxes. Was it a
trial version? We bought all of our licenses (could have been a site
license). Should I call tech support?
I remember the word processor Write Now was bundled.
FWIW, Paul
