Hi Andrew, I respectfully disagree with the idea of "vendor interference". Since third-party products related to FrameMaker are part of many workflows, I don't think it is inappropriate at all to talk about them on the list. To put the shoe on the other foot, if someone posts a difficulty with

***Vendor post*** We just released Flare 4, which will do everything I suspect you need and more. You can download a trial version at www.madcapsoftware.com and sign up for a demo, if you want. The demo is good, in that it will shows you some of what the product does. We can certainly dynamically
