Frame isn't dead, my wife is a technical writer in the EDA (electronic 
design automation) business, and thats about all they use.

When I think of FrameMaker, I think of the program that started out on Solaris,
then moved to other big iron Unices and OS X.  Wikipedia informs me that it?s
been Windows-only for about a decade, which must be how it dropped off my radar.

Still, it?s good to know the old thing is still shambling along in some form.  I
was impressed with it when I used it way back when.

That does bring back memories of Solaris and Framemaker from the mid 
90's.  We had folks using Frame as a word processor, absolutely insane, 
especially since they had Applixware (originally Aster*x) installed on 
the same machines.  Fun times!
