RE: Adobe Certified Newsletter -- notice about FrameMaker

[Bill Briggs <web@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Reading the words in that announcement one would be encouraged. It's 
strong language. Here's the salient part.

" For this event, we will begin our first day with the FrameMaker 
Product Manager from Adobe Systems providing a Keynote presentation. 
If you are interested in the future of Adobe FrameMaker, you will 
want to come and hear from the TOP FrameMaker product management what 
their plans are for this software tool. You don't want to miss this! 
Quell those rumors of FrameMaker's demise by hearing straight from 
"the horse's mouth" about all that is coming in the future for Adobe 
FrameMaker.


NOTE: This presentation will be recorded and available for purchase 
by conference attendees, so that you can buy a copy and play it each 
time someone tries to pass along a rumor of FrameMaker's death."


 The thing not acknowledged here is that one of the big plusses with 
FrameMaker used to be its cross-platform support. It solved a BIG 
problem for us, and now we have the problem back. Adobe should do the 
right thing and get it back on OS X, make and sell a Linux copy for 
the most popular couple of distros, and make it the cross platform 
champ it always was. That, and a few other tweaks (like fixed 
footnotes) and they would be able to hold, or take back, the academic 
book publishing business.

 I feel a rant coming on so I'll shut up and go back to work.
