Bernard,

In my case the download several times came to a halt. So I stopped and 
resumed it about 5 times until the whole file was downloaded:

Framemaker8_WWEFG.exe      611'754'504 bytes

This file performs as expected and I already have done some research about 
the files which chanched. I'm planning to issue modifications to some 
dialogues - see http://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker36.html - also for FM 8.

Good luck with another trial download.

BTW this morning I received the official copy of FM 8 (update) by UPC. For 
the us Europeans it is shipped from Brno/Cechoslovakia. The box is smaller 
than usual - no manual inside, just 2 CD's and the Getting Started Guide. 
Manual must be ordered separately at Adobe Store.
