Hello,

  I'm very interested in FrameMaker 2.1x supporting X-Windows &c.! My question is:
May I use this version of FrameMaker for importing (sic) and, somewhat more
important, but difficult likewise, exporting -- now it comes -- LaTeX- or at least
TeX-Files like Publisher (ArborText) does.

Please answer me quickly... perhaps it is faster by e-mail to
lan.informatik.tu-muenchen.dbp.de!gritzner.
