Alan, I agree with you, but the person is in the Adobe dev dept. and I'd expect that they would have a pretty good idea about rel dates. But as you say, who knows? We'll just have to wait and see.
Either way, what I have now does the job I need to do. Well, almost. I'd definitely like to see some better input filters. But that's a different topic.

Given Adobe's historical 18-month release cycle, I would be surprised to see a new FrameMaker release within a couple of months. (I believe FrameMaker 7.2 shipped in September 2005). Pleasantly surprised, of course. The Creative Suite is somewhat closer to the end of an 18 month cycle (April 2005), and Acrobat 7 has been out even longer. Given the propensity of even internal Adobe folks to confuse products like "PageMaker" and "FrameMaker", I might speculate that the source was mis-informed. Only Adobe knows for certain, however. -Alan Diane Gaskill wrote: > I've heard from a reliable source inside Adobe that it could be out within a > couple of months. > > Diane > > -----Original Message----- > From: framers-bounces+dgcaller=earthlink.net at lists.frameusers.com > [mailto:framers-bounces+dgcaller=earthlink.net at lists.frameusers.com]On > Behalf Of Neil Tubb > Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2006 1:01 PM > To: framers at frameusers.com > Subject: Release Date for FrameMaker 8? > > Hi all, > > Anyone have a clue as to Adobe's plans for the next major release of > FrameMaker?
