Hi Dave...
I haven't followed this thread closely, but I have to say that is VERY unusual
that there would be a problem with Maker faithfully reading the read/write
rules file. If that's what's happening, then there must be an error in your
installation and/or setup of the configuration files. Likewise, if you're
talking about the application definition files, that's a similar issue -- once
you configure things right, it's hard to imagine any inconsistencies in how
Maker reads in the app definitions.
That said, I do feel your pain -- an XML application is pretty convoluted for
any product. FrameMaker has its own foibles in this department. But again,
once you get it all straight and working, you should get very consistent
results.
I'll also say that if PDF output is a requirement for you, nothing beats
FrameMaker DITA (or whatever XML) to PDF. As for editing XML, I'm currently
using Maker in a DITA work flow, and have no problems.
Whichever way you go, hang in there!!!

Thanks so much for the info. I'll check it out. The problem of
FrameMaker's not faithfully reading the "rules" file, wherever it is,
looks like a deal breaker that, I'm sorry to say, gives me pause about
continuing using FrameMaker. There's just so much "pressure" to use
other XML editor computer programs . . ..
