Well, sorry, not quite... you think Frame is producing a 2.1 for NeXT;
and for a while Frame did too, since they demo'd it under that name
at a recent BaNG meeting; but last week our Frame sales rep told us
that, no, sorry, they had changed their minds and would not be releasing
a version 2.1 for the NeXT.  (He made no mention of any 2.0d at that time,
either; we have only heard of it through net postings.)

So perhaps you would like to try again to clear things up?  Even nicer,
perhaps somebody from Frame would try?
