Thanks to a patch from Dmitry Timoshkov, I was able to get Framemaker 7.0 to
start up and run. I am using a Demonstration License so your milage may vary,
but I was able to wake-up Framemaker and do basic stuff.

Good:
- It recognizes all the local fonts
- I was able to enter text, change fonts, and other basic operations
Bad:
- There was an "Adobe Online internal error". I'm guessing that
it won't
contact the mothership to download updates right now.
- When I open up the Help->About window, the program hung
- I ran through several other dialog box creating menu items and it also hung
