I have. The Linux version worked quite nicely after tweaking the startup script. Unfortunately, they no longer offer a Linux version, and the license for the one they offered expired. > See below for fundamental prerequisite: > UNIX > .

That makes it unlikely that you'll get FreeBSD to run on them, much less Framemaker. You might check the NetBSD lists to see if anyone is using it there. You're more likely to find producton quality ports running on those platforms. They also tend to be good about providing ABI compatability for the native Unix variant. If you want FrameMaker on BSD, that's your most likely choice. If you want FrameMaker on Unix on Intel hardware, you're out of luck. Adobe doesn't offer it. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
