I believe Alan is correct about FM 5.5.6, and I'm pretty sure FrameViewer was discontinued before FM 6 came out. 

The "comparable product" ever since has been Acrobat/Adobe Reader. You can easily create a PDF of any FM document, complete with working links, and anyone can view it with the free Reader. So FrameViewer didn't seem to serve any useful purpose.
