Before you get too far into it, note this statement on the home page: ========================================================== The testbed for these programs was FrameMaker version 3.2 on NEXTSTEP 3.3/OPENSTEP 4.2 (the latest version for this platform). The programs may work on a wider variety of FrameMaker versions and platforms. ========================================================== But I wouldn't count on it. There were some major changes in 4.0 that pretty much wiped earlier templates, when the text flows were separated from the master pages... ;-) We've had maybe five requests for LaTEX... in the last ten years. Not exactly huge demand. But you might see what you could do with our "Generic XML" output, which can be tweaked to produce plain text and probably many more non-XML formats. -- Jeremy H.
