Buying an old copy of FrameMaker

[Syed Zaeem Hosain (Syed.Hosain@aeris.net)]

There isn’t any FM 8.2 that I know of.

The Windows versions that I used/upgraded-to were (early numbering may be incorrect, but everything after 7.0 is correct):

5.0, 5.5, 5.6, 6.0, 7.0, 7.2, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, and 11.0

With a varying number of available patches for each.

Also, I am not counting the older versions I used on Sun systems way back when – started with either 2.X or 3.0 from Frame Technology back in 1988! :)

Shelly Schneider is (potentially) looking for a copy of Frame Maker 8.2.
Which brings to mind an interesting question.
Does anyone know of the distribution of F M'er (versions) in use?
That is, some earlier versions of F M'er are still in use in a production environment
and too what extent are these earlier versions used (???)

Anyone have a "best guess" or some data ?

An additional contractor has been brought on by my company. If I can find a low-price copy of FrameMaker, perhaps she won’t end up moving her docs to Word (shudder). I know folks on this list swear by FrameMaker 8. FrameMaker 9 was a bug-fest. I doubt I’ll find many people offering FrameMaker 10. I've had no luck on eBay . I’d love to find a copy of FrameMaker 8  with a transferable license (was it 8.2 everyone loved?). Does anybody have any thoughts or caveats on how to go about this?  Thanks!
