Re: Support of framemaker

Both the PRICE and not working on linux would be an issue for me.. 
I COULD use it on my PC.. but something like open office that is free, and available on ANY platform 
would be super.. Of course I haven't even tried to use open office for even a paper yet.. 
(Yes I have MSword  and my own personal laptop that has MS office and could run Maker)

Well my problem with framemaker is that it is only supported on Windows 
and Unix/Solaris.
More and more of our work machines are becoming Linux so it is harder to 
find a Solaris machine to use (and windows is non-existent in my work 
place).
