It looks like it's linked against Motif -- goody emacs key bindings :-)

Too bad FrameMaker is so expensive, otherwise it'd be worth harassing
them to do a FreeBSD port (i.e. I can't afford/justify it, so I won't 
badger them). They've got AIX and HPUX versions so I wouldn't think 
there'd be too much work to get it to build for us, those being BSD(ish) 
systems.

It's the nicest thing I've used for technical type documentation.

I'd be willing to pay for Applixware if it has support for new filters
the next time MS changes their word format (again). It's very hard to
explain to clients to use Lowest Common Denominator (well for them) 
when attaching documents.
