I think what Bill was suggesting is something different--assuming that Framemaker for Solaris is a fully compliant X-windows app, I believe he's asking whether it's possible to run the GUI on a Mac (using X11) while running the application itself on a Solaris box.
Never having used Framemaker for Solaris I don't know the answer. But it's a good question--there are relatively cheap Sun boxes available, especially for the X86 version of Solaris. Might be an option. --- Rex. -----Original Message----- From: owner-macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Henri Yandell Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 8:49 AM To: macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu Subject: Re: MacGroup: Adobe dropping FrameMaker for Mac Very unlikely, unless they provided the source, and even then it'd take finking. Solaris tends to be quite platform specific I think, and I don't think a SPARC chip is anywhere near close enough a match for a PowerPC chip for binary compatibility to be fun. I've also never heard of any kind of emulation for Sun stuff, be it OS X or Linux. Only hope for FrameMaker on a Mac is to get PC emulaton software I'd warrant.
