Running FrameMaker on Mac workstations

[Gillian Flato]

I have a MacBook Air. I installed VMWare Fusion to make a virtual machine and created the VM with Windows 7 OS. I run TCS on the Windows VM. It's a much better, easier and more practical solution then a dual boot system or running OS9 to run Frame.

Thanks to all who responded (mostly off-list, which is fine).  I am now far less ignorant than I was.

Regards,
Dave Stamm

I am still using it here, as it does all that I need. Trouble is, it's locking me into OS X 10.4, which is locking me *out* of a number of important upgrades elsewhere.

My current view of the future probably has this machine continuing to run FrameMaker 7, whatever happens on a possible newer machine. I have other legacy software that requires Classic and which will never be updated, including an ancient but adequate accounting system.
