No sweat - easy mistake to make.

Correct.

Also correct (dammit) :-(

Correct. There was a campaign, thanks to Paul Findon, but it got us nowhere: http://www.fm4osx.org. I even wore the T-shirt to trade shows. (There was just the one T-shirt, but we shared it.)

A lot of Mac FrameMaker users became very, very angry.

> Anyone heard anything about when Adobe might be releasing an OS X version, if that is the case?

LOL.
