Before you get too far into it, note this statement on the
home page:

==========================================================
The testbed for these programs was FrameMaker version 3.2 
on NEXTSTEP 3.3/OPENSTEP 4.2 (the latest version for this 
platform). The programs may work on a wider variety of 
FrameMaker versions and platforms. 
==========================================================

But I wouldn't count on it.  There were some major changes
in 4.0 that pretty much wiped earlier templates, when the
text flows were separated from the master pages...  ;-)

We've had maybe five requests for LaTEX... in the last ten
years.  Not exactly huge demand.  But you might see what
you could do with our "Generic XML" output, which can be
tweaked to produce plain text and probably many more
non-XML formats.
