How to get more Macintosh users using FrameMaker?
I can't think of a way to solve that one quickly.
Maybe we can turn this into a contest?
The first thing is that Apple has to start
There's also the probability that the CS suite porting is taking place

However, FrameMaker has a much older code base, so the effort to migrate it
to XCode would be proportionately greater. For all I know, some parts of
FrameMaker might be coded in Assembler for speed. If this is the case,
moving such code to a multi-platform production base such as XCode would be

Folks,
Worrying about whether the latest versions of FrameMaker are, or are
not, available for a particular OS and platform is not productive at
