Yes, the HP version of FrameMaker shipping today is 1.3. The 2.0 version will be available early in calendar Q3, 1990. At this time HP is offering incentives to people who purchase HP FrameMaker 1.3 - contact your local Hewlett-Packard Sales Office for details. > Where is version 2.0 for the HP, I am currently using 2.0 on a sun? FrameMaker 2.0 for the Hewlett-Packard HP-UX and Domain workstations will be the first versions of Frame Technology's 2.0 product available with support for Motif, the X-Window System-based user interface licensed by the Open Software Foundation (OSF). Motif will provide workstation users with a uniform "look and feel" across heterogenous computing environments. > Also, using framemaker on the HP's seem to require using an ID module at > every single seat (servers & discless nodes).

FrameMaker 2.0 for the HP workstations will contain Frame's unique floating license server allowing users to economically share FrameMaker 2.0 licenses across their network. Owners of HP 9000 Series 300 workstations may be require to have one HP ID-Module to secure Frame's floating license server - a product decision on this topic remains to be finalized. FrameMaker 2.0 user nodes will NOT require an HP ID-module on any HP workstation. Roy Anderson HP FrameMaker Product Manager Hewlett-Packard Company Fort Collins, Colorado

It would be nice if the license server could server floating licenses to both HP and Sun workstation at the same time, but as the licenses for HP machines will be sold by HP and those for Suns by Frame i fear that will not be possibly, or will it ? -- Toerless Eckert Internet: eckert@informatik.uni-erlangen.de X.400: /C=de/A=dbp/P=uni-erlangen/OU=informatik/S=eckert/
