Re: FrameMaker Server 7: What is it?

Rampant speculation: I have no more knowledge than anyone else who has read the brochure.

I would speculate that this is a FrameMaker flavor of a server-based composition engine for *ML processing. Documentation departments might use such a server-based model to provide consistent output using a heavy-duty Frame-based composition engine. Adobe might sell X number of licenses limiting the use of Frame-server to X users at any one time. (X would represent a fraction of the department.)

Meanwhile, everyone in the department could use vanilla Frame to locally edit information in a server-based controlled-database environment. When necessary, Frame-server kicks in to provide necessary document control, *ML composition, or other server-based features (I forget what the brochure says it all provides).

Again, I have no idea. I'd be interested in hearing more about the Frame Server capabilities myself and where my speculations above are wrong.

Always looking to use hyphens where-ever possible,

Has anyone been able to figure out what this actually is? Maybe someone with
an NDA that's now expired? I've read the docs on the Adobe site, but can't
really quite make out what thing(s) it does.

Please feel free to respond on or off list. I'll summarize after a couple of
days ...
