[Framers] FrameMaker 2020 vs 2019

[techwordsmith at gmail.com]

Well, you are right. I now have FrameMaker 16 (2020), Adobe tech support
gave me the link, but I have no idea if it is actually released or if I have
a beta. Nobody said anything.

The vendor was told to use FrameMaker 2019 and made a mistake and sent 2020
files. I don't know if they are part of a beta or not. I was expecting 2019
files, which I can open, so didn't ask for MIF.

This opens more questions than those I originally asked .... Anyone in the
know, feel free to chime in.

Cheers,

Sean

Are you saying that the translator used an as-yet unreleased version?
Possibly an NDA violation?

Is the secret download location a pre-release repository?

Shouldn't the translator return a client's project in the same release it
was submitted, or in MIF, to maintain compatibility?
