If you launch FM6 first, double-clicking on an FM6 file should open that file in the already-running FM6 application. Double-clicking on an FM9 file, on the other hand, will produce a "cannot open" error.
If you have FM9 running, double-clicking on *any* FrameMaker file will open it in FM9 with only the "previous version" message to alert you to the fact that you're opening an FM6 (or FM7 or FM8) file. -Fred Ridder > From: info at mikewickham.com > To: chall at atgshades.com; framers at lists.frameusers.com > Subject: Re: FM 6 and FM 8 in the same computer > Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2010 12:01:01 -0600 > > Define "stopped working."
