Hmm. I was unaware of that. It wouldn't matter a jot, of course, for something like Illustrator or InDesign, where there would be no incentive to continue using the old version anyway. However, we still have authors here working in old versions of FrameMaker, and it's a help to be able to keep their source files at the required version.
