FrameMaker was originally not intended to be bundled with the system,
and the version on the 0.9 disk is more for demo purposes. FrameMaker will
be available as a commercial product when it's ready. 

Nothing else on the 0.9 disk is scheduled to break; programs like WriteNow,
Mathematica, and the development environment are all bundled with the system
and will remain that way in 1.0.
