I agree! While FrameMaker is still available for WIndows there is still  
hope. Adobe has the resources to produce FrameMaker for Mac OS X. It's  
up to us to give it the will.

I don't know Apple's official stance, but I do know that there are  
Apple employees who want FrameMaker for Mac OS X, as do some Adobe  
employees.

FWIW, I have submitted 16 copies of the petition to Adobe executives,  
in two batches, and nine copies to Apple executives. I've also posted  
"FrameMaker for Mac OS X" Christmas cards to Adobe and Apple  
executives, written letters, and sent e-mails.

Many of us on the FrameMaker for Mac OS X mailing list have written to  
Adobe and Apple. Some, several times.

Write now to executives at Adobe and Apple.

Adobe:

Apple:

faq#corpinfo9>

The e-mail addresses of FrameMaker's product managers are in the public  
domain but they're not the one's making the big decisions. I do not  
have e-mail addresses of any executives, but you could always try using  
the first letter of their first name, followed by their family name @  
company.com. Much better to write a letter though.
