AboutNeal Ziring Expertise I`ve been using Frame to write and edit technical documents since 1990. Experienced with versions 4, 5, and 5.5 on both Unix and Windows.
Framemaker is a commercial product, sold by Adobe.
It is a professional-grade system, sold mainly for
high-end publishing, technical documentation, and
production of textbooks and technical journals.
It is easy to use at first, but using all of its
features requires a lot of effort.
Framemaker is not for beginners. If you are looking
for good word processing software, try OpenOffice.
You can get Framemaker direct from Adobe, from
some professional software stores, or through
resellers, or on Ebay. The latest version is 8.0,
but anything 6.0 or later is quite usable on modern
Windows, Mac, and Unix systems. If you look around,
you can find 6.0 and 7.0 for reasonable prices,
maybe US$100 or less.
