That could *almost* be a viable option if indexes had been replaced with
decent linguistic search engines. But most search engines out there are
absolute crap. The removal of indexes was purely a cost saving move and
nothing about providing usable documentation.
A good index provided a huge benefit to both doc developer and the end
user. But now, I suppose people are "lucky" to get any documentation at
all. Set your sights low, and that's where it all ends up.

This might be the reason we stopped actually doing index entries and have been
quietly deleting index files from our books (I have a former co worker from
another company who is in horror over this idea). Use the search, people.

Scott,You might want to hang onto that 5.5 book. Once Adobe started creating
the documentation the Index started going downhill, when compared to the
original Frame issued books. The original Index was actual usefulI wouldn't
part with mine unless I had to.

Hi...
I hate to pitch (recycle) this stuff if it's of any use to anyone.
User Guides for FM 7.0, FM 6.0, FM+SGML 6.0, and FM 5.5. All basically new and
some still in plastic.
Contact me off list if you'd like any or all of these.
Cheers,
