	Framemaker 1.3 (from Frame running on the Sun) allows floating license.
	Why can't we have that on HP too?
	We run the X-window version of Framemaker 1.3 on the HP through the
	Sun.  That is the only economical way to do for us.
	[It is far cheaper to buy a Sun, have the floating license version of
	Framemaker to run on it, and then about 30 HPs can share those licenses
	through X-window.]
	However, I still love to see Framemaker 2.0 will allow floating license
	on the HPs.
