Yes, I definitely erred on the 5.6 version ... it was 5.5.6 for sure now that both you and Richard mention it.
I don't remember the 5.1 (or 5.1.2?) version at all - like I mentioned in another response, I may not have been using FrameMaker at that time (due to the company I was working for). Separately, I have to admit I also don't recall the 7.1 version at all. I guess my old age is creeping up on me more than I thought!

The version was actually numbered 5.5.6. There was indeed a 7.1 version between 7.0 and 7.2. -Fred Ridder ________________________________ From: Syed.Hosain at aeris.net<mailto:[email protected]> To: neat_gent at yahoo.com<mailto:neat_gent at yahoo.com>; shelly at softest.com<mailto:shelly at softest.com>; framers at lists.frameusers.com<mailto:framers at lists.frameusers.com> Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2012 07:09:24 -0700 Subject: RE: Buying an old copy of FrameMaker There isn't any FM 8.2 that I know of. The Windows versions that I used/upgraded-to were (early numbering may be incorrect, but everything after 7.0 is correct): 5.0, 5.5, 5.6, 6.0, 7.0, 7.2, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, and 11.0 With a varying number of available patches for each. Also, I am not counting the older versions I used on Sun systems way back when - started with either 2.X or 3.0 from Frame Technology back in 1988! :) Z From: framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com<mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com> [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com]<mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> On Behalf Of Peter Courlis Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2012 6:13 AM To: Shelly Schneider; framers at lists.frameusers.com<mailto:framers at lists.frameusers.com> Subject: Re: Buying an old copy of FrameMaker Shelly Schneider is (potentially) looking for a copy of Frame Maker 8.2. Which brings to mind an interesting question. Does anyone know of the distribution of F M'er (versions) in use? That is, some earlier versions of F M'er are still in use in a production environment and too what extent are these earlier versions used (???) Anyone have a "best guess" or some data ?

If I can find a low-price copy of FrameMaker, perhaps she won't end up moving her docs to Word (shudder). I know folks on this list swear by FrameMaker 8. FrameMaker 9 was a bug-fest. I doubt I'll find many people offering FrameMaker 10. I've had no luck on eBay . I'd love to find a copy of FrameMaker 8 with a transferable license (was it 8.2 everyone loved?). Does anybody have any thoughts or caveats on how to go about this? Thanks! Shelly Schneider "It is no coincidence that in no known language does the phrase 'As pretty as an airport' appear."
