Unfortunately, at the Adobe Developer Conference in August folks were
told
that the only UNIX-based Acrobat (other than the Readers) being
considered was 
a Distiller server for Solaris only. I wrote David Baskerville, Product
Manager 
for Acrobat for an update, but haven't heard back yet.

Lester's e-mail has also jogged me to ask Mark Hilton about FM+SGML
(even though 
I don't use it -- yet! ;-) and its place on the roadmap beside FM (and
the 
specific UNIX platforms and versions it will run on, too).
