There are a few additional issues to be aware of when running Mac  
FrameMaker with Tiger, but, for the most part, it works well.

I have a page detailing issues at:

For more "UNVARNISHED truth" and support, I suggest that you join the  
FrameMaker for Mac OS X mailing list at:

FWIW, I'm running Mac FrameMaker 6.0 on a Power Mac G5 Quad with Mac  
OS 10.4.8 (Tiger). It works well, is fast, and stable.
