Hello Framers,
I am running FM9 on a laptop AND on a PC, both with Windows7.

Truth be told, I haven't looked into their pricing in a while, mainly
because my clients haven't needed it. But it was certainly the case
last time I looked into pricing.

My team has been using MadCap Flare with FrameMaker for years to create
CHM and html help files. Once you have everything set up and know how to
use it, creating online help in either (or both) formats is very easy.

Using FM9.0p237. I am a longtime user.
I will be using FM9 to create PDFs for 4-color printing. Ach, the headaches! I
know I have to use Save-As and de-select Convert CMYK Colors to RGB. (I know
that this means FM uses its own Unix Postscript generator, and not the Industry

I had a similar issue with a recent WebWorks upgrade which I solved by
calling them: 877-693-2967. It bothered me that that was required but
