[Framers] Basic Questions on Installing FrameMaker

[Lin Sims]

FrameMaker still uses whatever your default printer is.

SetPrint and the other Sundorne Communications utilities haven't been
updated in 15 years. I'm not certain the company is even in business
anymore, although the website still exists. They even have a zip file with
the source code, and yes, it's still downloadable. (
http://www.sundorne.com/FrameMaker/Freeware/setPrint.htm)

If this is an issue, I suggest contacting Rick Quatro or Russ Ward
or Bernard Aschwanden or one of the other scripters and see if they can
whip something up for you.
