I compared FM 1.x to Interleaf that same year (likewise on the Sun 3/50). I really liked it and thought it had great promise, but I advised my client to go with Interleaf (and worked on that for the next several years). FM had great promise, but was still a relatively young program lacking many key features. I didn't return to FM until 95 or 96 (v5.1, I believe), by which time it was far more mature. With a few interruptions when working for clients wedded to Word, I've been a happy FM user ever since. Richard G.
