A new version of WINE was released last week, so if you're an Intel  
Mac user and want to run Windows FrameMaker without Windows, VMWare,  
Parallels, or Boot Camp, you may wish to give it a try. They're  
looking for Framemaker users to test Framemaker and report bugs. More

Understand, though, that even if that "works" it would be considered
an unsupported configuration by Adobe. There is absolutely NO technical
support for using Adobe applications under such environments. (A similar
issue came up with regards to running InDesign under WINE on various
Linux and UNIX platforms.)
