RE: FrameMaker's Future

["Carol J. Elkins" <celkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul, do you happen to know what the migration path might be for 
Frame->Epic for nonstructured docs? I've made an appointment to speak to an 
ArborText rep, but if she doesn't know FrameMaker and I don't know Epic, it 
will be difficult to get an accurate feel for what might be involved in 
converting large libraries. If docs need to exit Frame as SGML or XML, then 
Epic won't be an option for my business.
