Buying an old copy of FrameMaker

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

Cool link ... thanks for the info, Scott!

Based on this, it looks like I started using FrameMaker with version 1.0, since the first server copy I bought was for a Sun 3/50 monochrome system back in mid-1988 or so. Now that I see it, I think I remember the upgrade to version 1.3 ... but could have sworn it was before the end of 1988, not 1989. Oh, well!

At the company I worked for, the Technical Publications department used Interleaf for their specs and marketing collateral, and my software/engineering team selected FrameMaker for our documentation work. Shared server licenses was the reason as I recall ... with Interleaf, the Sun "booted" into the program and was thus "locked" to each system. FrameMaker just ran as another application under SunView instead.

In addition to the wealth of other types of FrameMaker information and tools on his website, Klaus Daube has a very informative history of FrameMaker page ..
