You've got a point there, Mark (or rather, several points ;-)). And once you've got your Interleaf content in FrameMaker, the latest version of MIFGo can help to make DITA topics and maps directly from UNstructured FrameMaker files (I've been told). You can download a free unlimited demo

Diane, When I left Frame Tech in 1994, internal metrics and intelligent speculation put the total number of worldwide licenses at around 300K. With Wanock's listing of 500K 5 years later, you could assume liberal growth of 40,000 licenses per year which would put the probable current figure
