I have a box of FrameMaker v5 from Frame technology. I loaded the program in Windows 7 Professional, and of course learned nothing of program workings, where I am peculiarly using the graphics palette. From the beginning when v5.5.6 was new, I have been happy with merger of 2D graphics of some complexity and great precision, with text documents such as Purchase Orders. As this peculiar user, happy with v5.5.6, I am only unhappy to be constrained to 32-bit computing.
I have talked to The List three times I think, in all those years of caring about FrameMaker and skimming understandable things occasionally from others. Where I talk to The List, it is always about this graphics suite, and the fit to my brains in flexible document creation, despising automated cookie-cutter Word and its predecessors that evolved from command language. I know a few keystroke operations, but it is mostly type and place precise, flexible simplicity. I have tried to share samples of my work,hoping not all modern users are publishing professionals. I show the often creation of house details in my work as a construction contractor, on an accurately sized satellite photo. I imagine large employment opportunities for people I call Diligence Reporters, doing third-part quality control in construction, photos and builder notes proving completion of check list requirements, then in many ways surpassing "work" done by municipal jurisdictional authorities. I am inspired by a customer-couple who worked as entertainers on cruise ships, and would be happy in this Reporter relationship with respected builders, working in The Cloud to escape boredom in the Indian Ocean. I want a simplified and inexpensive software going back to the roots of FrameMaker, perhaps written by those Old Guys, and not owned by Adobe. Millions have a chance to do their correspondence in something not Word-like, much better. The Reporters in-the-cloud, would find this flexible software more intuitive than today's FrameMaker. Can anyone help? So, my v5 Frame Technology books are still shrink wrapped. Would I do well to open and read them? Is the pristine box valuable?
