Re: No Verification of 5.5.6 on Mac

[Tom Regner <tom_regner@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Sue Ellen,

I have received two other offline inputs (one from Adobe) that
gives similar information.  We double checked, and there is no
mention in the spash or About FrameMaker screens of 5.5.6
(p145 or otherwise).  So, despite our having shelled out for
v5.5.6 and the small tag on the box that says it is 5.5.6, we
got v5.5, which we already had.  While this is most likely a
simple mistake, it is costing us time (and therefore money)
to resolve the issue.

Thanks again,

-- Tom
