Dear List,
Klaus Daube was so friendly to pass on my question. So far I am very grateful
for the feedback. It helped me formulate my question more concisely: I am
looking for the two tutorials “Learning FrameMaker” and “Using FrameMaker”.
Both have been published by
Frame Technology in 1989. From what I can see looking in the world cat
database, there has been a general UNIX edition but not a specific NeXTSTEP
one. Is that correct, or does anybody remember otherwise? I will try to get
this issue through interlibrary loan in my local library. But if someone
happens to have an e-book, I would be very grateful if I could borrow it. By
the way, I really want to work with it, so it's not pure nostalgia. During the
covid-19 lockdown I have sketched a music theory book which I would like to
develop now further in the next month to come. I still use NextSTEP to this day
because I still consider the GUI to be unsurpassed in its simplicity and
functionality.
Regards,
Ralf
