Experience Running FrameMaker on the new MacIntel

I am running Frame on a MacBook Pro, using Parallels instead of Boot 
Camp.  Parallels lets me open a Windows window on the Mac, and run 
Frame in that.  I did have to cross-grade my OS 9 version of Frame to 
a windows version.

It works fairly well - the file structure is shared, and I treat 
Frame like any other application.  It's a little slow, and there are 
some cut and paste oddities between the systems, but since I needed a 
new Mac, this was about the only choice.

Until we get an OS X version of Frame, I can live with this.
