Re: Adobe FrameMaker End-of-Life for Macintosh Platform

[Victor Caston <vcaston@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The news was not unexpected, as has been pointed out repeatedly.

What is news is that Adobe has finally come clean about this. And 
that kind of clarification, after all, was what many of us clamored 
for, even if the verdict went against us. At least we know now where 
we stand.

I like to imagine that Dov did have a hand in that. I can't imagine 
for a minute that he enjoyed having to toe the line on what previous 
press releases did and didn't say. He's been much too invested in 
this group, and the product, to have taken it lightly.

It seems like the best thing now is to think about what's next, 
realistically: cross-platform solutions, for those who need it; and 
long document capabilities for others.

I just hope that enough pressure can be placed on the InDesign group 
to take this seriously.
