FrameMaker on Japanese OS

[Paul Findon]

Hi Yosuke,

Glad to know it's not just my setup. I guess we can file this one  
under "bug."

Incidentally, when I ran Update from the Help menu, I had to quit FM  
manually while the update downloaded, otherwise the update failed. I  
remembered reading about this on the list but couldn't search the  
archives because frameusers.com has been down for weeks.  
freeframers.org has a working archive search tool. Brad, what's  
happening to frameusers? Please can we have a search facility.

Paul
