Hello People,

  Thank you for your very quick answers. The following usenetters have
answered to me:

	1. Anders Thulin <ath@prosys.se>
	2. Lar Kaufman <lark@tivoli.UUCP> (article, may be found here--twice!)
	3. Stefan Platzek <stepl%tubkom@tubprz.uucp>
	4. Lar Kaufman <mcnc!drd!tivoli!lark> (article, but with same contents)

  Now it is apparently clear that FrameMaker 2.1 has the same ``disease'' as
the earlier versions before: Importing LaTeX-Files works by using Encapsulated
PostScript, while exporting LaTeX-Files is impossible as before.

  Publisher (ArborText) seems to be based on TeX, therefore, the exporting
ability (which is but again only possible by special routines) of PlainTeX(!!)
is self-evident.
