Message-ID: <58305@sun.uucp> Date: 28 Jun 88 22:28:40 GMT Sender: news@sun.uucp Distribution: comp Lines: 31 Approved: desktop-request%plaid@sun.com Just a short one to inquire as to why I never see much at all on this group about Frame Maker. I've been using it on my Sun 3/50 for about 1-1/2 years, and it has served me very well, both for the usual sort of text work as well as for viewgraphs here. And, in what could be considered an inexcusable abuse of software, I've even used it to make camera-ready printed-circuit artwork! While it is arguably not adequate for general-purpose commercial typesetting, it does more than live up to Frame's claim of a "desktop- publishing package for mainstream UN*X users." For 98% of internal and limited-distribution-external copy work, in my estimation Frame Maker seems to do the job. I'm just puzzled that I don't hear more about it. For example, does anybody have comments about Frame's entry in the Mac market? Pretty overpriced, huh?
