Another tangent: Were either the Illustrator or FrameMaker displayed 
colours IDENTICAL to the printed output? I suspect both were "incorrect" 
in some regard. It's only the final deliverable colour that's important. 
And that's completely dependent on the device producing the output (except 
for the unfortunate content that gets mangled by the OS between colour 
spaces before output).

I think that will account for display differences. CS2 applications use 
Adobes CMYK display filters. FrameMaker is stuck using Windows GDI (which 
is RGB).

Analogy: The only important factor is the colour of the paint when it 
dries. NOT the colour when it's in the can, or still wet on the wall. I'll 
admit it is worrying painting cabinets a shockingly bright pink. But they 
dried to the nice dark red we were looking for.
