Well, Framemaker just sent me the upgrade information to 2.1.

Since I had pointed out at least 10 bugs myself in the firs4 weeks after I
received it, since I provided them with a coredump, and since Framemaker does
specifically fail to do ((mathematical equation scaling to large fonts) what I
asked for (I knew it failed in the demo version!) when I ordered and paid my
$500, I had hoped I would get an upgrade for free or at least a nominal charge.

False: the upgrade is ...$400... (if I order before December; if I don't, I
also will loose support in 6 months).
