Ok, one more time:
Start Frame on your 1.0 NeXT system.  Click on the Info panel, read carefully
the version number.  If you are running Frame 2.0 (no letter suffix) then
FrameUpdate.pkg in /NextAdmin of NeXT 2.0 gold will *not* work.  If the
version is 2.0b, then the update package will upgrade it to 2.0c... 2.0c
buys you the ability to work with documents, the Math (equations...) will
*not* work.  Frame says they will be releasing 2.0d and ultimately 2.1
which will allow you to get a fully function FrameMaker running again.

I hope this clears stuff up.
