[Framers] FM on Next - question from a nostalgic person

[Grant Hogarth]

As one of the writers who wrote the documentation for that generation of 
FM (Chris Despopoulos was part of that crew), I recall that most of the 
documentation was included on the delivery media (for NeXT, that would 
have been a CD). Unfortunately, I don't have (that I know of), a copy 
any more. As Robert Lauriston notes, that documentation should be in the 
FrameMaker directories (under "Manuals", as I recall).

Good luck!
