Except for point and click issue below, confirmed.

Should be perfectly fine. Remember that FrameMaker 6 automatically
installs AdobePS 4.4 which MUST be upgraded to 4.4.1 by download
from Adobe.com.

Except that ATM 4.0 won't work correctly with AdobePS 4.4 with Type 1 fonts.
Nor will the ATM Lite 4.1 that came with FrameMaker 6. The version of ATM Lite
available for downloading from Adobe.com (labelled 4.1, but really 4.1.1) 
fixes these problems. However, that would kill the "deluxeness" of your
current ATM installation. You can order an ATM Deluxe 4.1 upgrade for approx
$30 by phone from Adobe. I recommend you do this FIRST!
