Frame's future

[Scott Prentice]

If you're looking for the complete (as far as I know) list of plugins 
available for FrameMaker, check out our ToolSearch database ..

    http://www.leximation.com/toolsearch/?type=P&baseapp=FM

This database includes tools other that FM plugins as well, but you can 
filter on specific types. If you know of plugins (or other interesting 
publishing-related tools), please let me know!
