Others have answered this question pretty well. Just to add anecdotal experience, I and several other FrameMaker consultants/trainers have been working almost exclusively on the Mac platform for some time, using either Parallels or VMware Fusion to run MacOS and Windows concurrently.

I've been very pleased with the environment and the performance. Do I wish I could get away without running Windows? Yes. Is that likely to happen? No.

Here's a rather thorough Adobe blog post on the topic.

An interesting tidbit...if you check the properties of Apple's PDF-format user manuals, you will still see FrameMaker 6 and 7 with surprising frequency.

All -

Please help dispel my ignorance or refresh my memory.  I use FrameMaker on a "PC," but I've read that some die-hard users of FrameMaker who have Mac workstations are still using it.  So, as they might say in the City of New York, "Not for nothin', but . . ." please answer a few questions.

  1.  What was the last version of FrameMaker for the Mac that was released, and when was it released?

  2.  If FrameMaker is still running on Mac workstations, how is that done?

  3.  For FrameMaker still running on Mac workstations, what is the latest version and when was it released?

¡Thanks!
Dave Stamm
