The other Adobe applications use a common graphics subystem based on Adobe's AGM, CoolType, ACE, and other Core Technology components used for the various interfaces described below. FrameMaker is not based on these components and cannot leverage the MacOS X portation work done for those products for a FrameMaker portation. Plus, at this point, a migration of development tools to xCode would need to be done from Code Warrior, a double whammy in terms of time and cost.
