RE: Running FM6 and 7 on the same platform

[Dov Isaacs <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are some very serious "ifs", "ands" and "buts" to this ...

(1) Whatever version of FrameMaker is installed last, that will be the
one invoked by "double-clicking" on the file icon. Thus, if you install
FrameMaker 6 AFTER 7, FrameMaker 6 will be called upon whenever clicking
on ANY FrameMaker document or book icon, even if FrameMaker 7 already
edited it!

(2) Likewise, be careful about the installation of software BEYOND just
FrameMaker, such as the Distiller. Nothing could ruin your day more than
Distiller 4.05 and its old version of the driver and plugins bunnystomping
on your newer installation of either Distiller 5 or Acrobat 5 plus
drivers and driver plugins.
