Yes, and it was the last version produced by the
engineering team Adobe acquired with Frame Technology.
The 7.2 version was the first from Adobe India.

As a side note, Adobe acquired RH after Macromedia 
had already laid off the RH developers, who went
on to become Madcap and produced Flare.

That's also when the doc updates ended; the 7.1 
docs were shipped for the next few, along with
an update release-notes doc.

I did think 8 was an improvement, but the road
after that turned so sharply downhill it resembled
falling off a cliff... IMNSHO.  I still use 8;
we have the later ones for testing with Mif2Go,
but do not use them for any other purpose.
