Hi Diane,
Thank you for checking with me; your timing could not be better. I am at the

on several DITA presentations and solicit feedback on FrameMaker's DITA

I will hazard the guess that this assertion is based on the same
argument ArborText used to (maybe still does?) make about FrameMaker not
being real SGML (or XML) because it saves files in its own internal
format.
Now that is no longer true for XML w/ version 7+, but it would not
surprise me that

Hi Max,
The PTC rep told me today that FM DITA is proprietary and not compatible with
anything else. Is this true? She also told me that the PTC version of DITA is
standard (whatever that means).
One of our divisions in Japan has decided to go with AT. We are leaning toward
structured FM.

Hi Bodvar,
Given that many FrameMaker users are in the software industry (at least here
in Northern California), the number of unused licenses may be higher than
you think. For example, as the manager of the Pubs department

Diane,
When I left Frame Tech in 1994, internal metrics and intelligent speculation
put the total number of worldwide licenses at around 300K. With Wanock's
listing of 500K 5 years later, you could assume liberal growth

Thanks lots!

Hi all,
I know Adobe keeps all of their numbers a Big Secret, but I am creating a
