Re: Adobe Rolls Out FrameMaker 6

[Dan Emory <danemory@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No Unicode support!

I thoroughly looked at the What's New information for both FrameMaker and
FrameMaker+SGML on the Adobe website. Nothing indicating that a full
implementation of Unicode is there. I also did a search on the word Unicode
for the entire website. Got 60 hits, none of which pertain to FrameMaker.

If 6.0 doesn't support Unicode better than 5.5.6, then the product isn't
ready for prime time, and cannot produce XML that meets W3 requirements for
the use of Unicode rather than entity references.

The lack of a full Unicode implementation also means the 6.0 product is not
ready for prime time in the translation industry. There, Word 2000 will
continue to eat Adobe's lunch.
