>However, FrameMaker has a much older code base, so the effort to migrate it to XCode would be proportionately greater. For all I know, some parts of FrameMaker might be coded in Assembler for speed. If this is the case, moving such code to a multi-platform production base such as XCode would be all the more complex, and might involve a major re-coding effort. All this ups cost and reduces margins.
If I remember correctly this is why it was easier to create InDesign from scratch rather than upgrade Pagemaker code anymore. I know someone out there will correct me if I am wrong.
