Thank you for posting the link. FM is certainly one of the unsung heroes
in computing history. Even now, publishing systems are not considered
important, until they break.
If it were not that FM had diverged from the familiar and functional
publishing system to a graphic designer tool, I would probably still be
using it.

Friends of FrameMaker,
Today I got a mail from David Hemmendinger (Associate Editor-in-chief, IEEE
Annals of
the History of Computing) with two corrections for my web-page about FM's
history.
The wonderful surplus of this mail is the link to the full article by David
Murray on
the history of FrameMaker. The article
(http://walden-family.com/david-murray/frame-posted.pdf) will will appear in
the 2019
July-Sept issue of the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing
(http://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/an).
For the first time we have genuine information about the early days of FM.
Klaus
