Hi, Graeme: It's been quite a while since I used VPC, but I think that you probably have installed your applications inside the large file that represents the complete VPC system. I seem to recall that I was able to see my Windows applications on the Mac side, but I'm hazy about how I did that.

first impressions of FrameMaker 8

I've played with the pre-release beta, and now the demo, and my general assessment is positive. FrameMaker 8 is a base-of-platform release, meaning that Adobe threw in the basic features it's going to develop and augment in the 8-series line, mainly to bring it up to par with other Adobe software

I have worked with both extensively... FrameMaker offers true XML authoring capability. Don't be deceived by a structure view: InDesign is taking steps towards being an XML formatting engine, but really isn't there in terms of authoring. The "map styles to tags" feature, for example, is extremely
