Re: Framemaker history ?

["Grant H." <rowan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Given that I *wrote* the manuals for version 3
(also a chunk of Mac 2.x stuff...)
I can assure you that there was a Windows release of Version 3.
(There was also a NeXT version, which was the last release of that 
particular product...)

I also remember being a beta tester for FrameBuilder back in 1992.
