[comp.sys.next] Framemaker---a commendation

phd_ivo@gsbacd.uchicago.edu (09/20/89)

I realize that everyone is busy with 1.0, but I still hope the
following message isn't lost. I commend the inclusion of a (possibly
deliberately) buggy version of Framemaker. It prevents the very,
very casual student user from stealing a copy, and noone who is a
serious user would not buy the real, supported and guaranteed $1,000 FM.
It is excellent PR policy for FM. I, for example, have not used FM
yet, but given a few demos on it, and know that at least 2 individuals
are currently attempting to (and will most likely succeed in) convincing
their respective companies to buy FM. I hope other companies will
consider similar policies.
