I'm afraid there's more. See http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?subtype=ca&infotype=an&appname=iSource&supplier=897&letternum=ENUS908-180
It says there is no replacement product, and service will be discontinued too. The document above lists BookMaster under the section for Service withdrawal date: September 30, 2009 I would like to point out that BookMaster was a separate application running on top of DCF (Document Composition Facility, a.k.a. "Script") and DCF continues to be marketed and supported. It also contains its own "Starter Set" of GML tags, which are similar to BookMaster, but limited to more basic document functions. I would also like to suggest strongly that if you have existing documents that were produced by BookMaster that you make sure that you hang onto any fonts you got from BookMaster so that you can continue to print those documents saved as AFP files.
