Two good points made in the last couple of emails on this topic:
Adobe charges too much for FM upgrades.
July would be the logical time to expect a new release.
Adobe could surprise us all with an upgrade price that is reasonable for a
change.

Hello Frame-users,
I’m not familiar with structuring authoring, so hoping to get some guidance on
creating DITA reference topics of programming commands. I'm spending a lot of
time searching for help and not getting very far for the time I'me spending.
First, I wonder if there are good samples
I found no new-user resources for structured FrameMaker when I looked
for them a few years ago. Adobe seems to presume that anyone who's
going to use it will hire a consultant or something.

Hi C2...
That's a big question. Not one that can be answered properly via email.
First .. read up on basic DITA concepts. Don't focus on what you want to
do with it and how you can change it. Learn the fundamentals of DITA and
structured authoring in FrameMaker. Here are a couple places to
Upgrades that occur during your subscription period are given to you. Of
course, if you stop the subscription at the end of the year you have nothing

Subscriptions include upgrades, but you are not required to upgrade if you
don't want to.
I subscribe to the Technical Communication Suite, which includes FrameMaker.
I usually have to wait a month or two before the Suite is updated to include
a new version of the software programs in the Suite.
It used to be that you could have more than one version of a program available
in the Creative Cloud subscription. I would expect that to be the same with
FrameMaker? Can someone confirm that?

The $360-per-year FrameMaker subscription includes upgrades, so that's
significantly cheaper than Flare.

It seems that the benefits of Flare over Frame are:
- More customizable/better HTML output
- Better support
- Better single sourcing than unstructured Frame
- They don't charge an arm and a leg to pay for upgrades
The benefits of Frame over Flare are:
- Better PDFs
- Less of learning curve for
