Tammy,

The powers that be who want to use Rational SoDA as a documentation 
tool have been smoking funny weed.


Rational SoDA does not, has not, and will not, be able to duplicate 
or even approach the functionality of Word, much less FrameMaker. In 
fact Notepad is a more capable text editor than is Rational SoDA.


However, it does a bang up job of internal documentation from code 
snippet comments, and other commented data.


It is not, and never has been a documentation tool like Framemaker, 
Word, or even Notepad.


The person or persons who are staking their careers on this are 
really misinformed, to be very, VERY generous and tactful about it.


Unfortunately you have idiots in charge.

Scott

I wasn't questioning the FM is dead. I'm just really surprised to see
that they'd replace FM with Soda. To me, that's like replacing Eclipse
with FM!

And could we have some informed comment on this, please? I know folks
like Bernard get sick of refuting 'FrameMaker is dead' rumors, but they
scare the living wossnames out of the rest of us for whom FrameMaker is
an essential part of our professional lives.

Tammy...I completely understood your meaning...but then I'm not
looking for every unattributable hint to determine the future of FM.
