I would like to get some info on Framemaker (is that the right name?) and Interleaf, or any other similar products for UNIX environments (say SUN sparc). I would like to know how much it costs for single-user as well as multi-user license. I would also like an evaluation of such systems. please email responses to att.com!enb3b2!brr thanks -brr

For comparisons to other products, you could try the FrameMaker user's mailing list: "framers@drd.com". Sending there will reflect to everyone on the list. If you also want to subscribe to the list, send to "framers-request@drd.com" (not to "framers" or you may need a flame-proof mbox :-). Framers is not entirely unbiased, of course, as they are mostly Frame users, but there are some Interleaf users (and ex-users) also. - Marty Hall ------------------------------------------------------ hall@aplcen.apl.jhu.edu, hall%aplcen@jhunix.bitnet, ..uunet!aplcen!hall Artificial Intelligence Lab, AAI Corp, PO Box 126, Hunt Valley, MD 21030 (setf (need-p 'disclaimer) NIL)

I (I'm framers-request in an alternate life) keep a file around (somewhat dated, but still, ya get what ya pay for ...) that contains these kinds of comparisons.

And I just paid $100 for my educational FrameMaker license for a SPARCstation. Just amaaaaazing. Also, bozo, try to remember that the original post may have been from someone who ALREADY HAS A SUN NETWORK. No, they don't want to investigate a NeXT. They want to use what they've already got, thank you. (Computer brand fanatics really piss me off.) -- Steve Graham graham@isis.ee.washington.edu (206) 543-8115

In your own message you state that the original posting "may have been from someone who..." Excuse me ALL TO HELL for trying to be helpful. If you had said that you were definitely lookinf for Sun-specific suggestions, I wouldn't have said anything. Noone is being a "Computer brand fanatic"--the NeXT is undeniably a strong platform for computer design and Frame is avaiable for it. I hate paranoid computer schnoobs who want everyone to read their tiny little minds. ########################################################################## asmith@questor.wimsey.bc.ca The Chameleon Papers - Vancouver, BC Graphic Artist - Bad Mood Guy - NeXT user Human beings are a great disappointment to me, and it doesn't help one bit that I am one --SF ########################################################################## Fingers Down The Throat Of Love

On the same matter, I've come across a ``demo'' version of framemaker (in which the SAVE command is disabled -- it may be crippled in other ways, too). It's binaries for sun4 and X11. Could someone inform me how to check which version of Framemaker is this demo for ? (All quoted text is from around 1988 or so). Does a newer version of this demo exist ? Does anything similar exist for Interleaf ? -- zvr -- +---------------------------+ Alexios Zavras (-zvr-) | H eytyxia den exei enoxes | zvr@ntua.gr +-----------------------zvr-+ zvr@theseas.ntua.gr Somebody said it couldn't be done / But he with a chuckle replied, Maybe it couldn't, but he would be one / Who never said no till he tried.
