Re: AdobePS fontsize error

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

No, that is NOT true. FrameMaker 6 does indeed work with
versions of AdobePS greater than 4.3.1.

By the way, with all the installing and uninstalling that you
are doing, I am surprised you have any way of knowing what you
really have on your system. And NO, you really cannot have
Acrobat 4.0x and Acrobat 5.0x installed in parallel without
the risk of some system components being incorrect since
they both used some components of the same name that are
of different versions, but stored in the same location.
