By FrameMaker, do you mean the program that runs on Suns/Apollos
under their windowing unix environments?

If so, there were some rumors that the company that developed it
was going to port it to the Mac, but that was the last I ever
heard about it.  I used it on a Sun about a year ago and it seemed
to be okay (I liked it a little better than MS Word 3.01), but I
didn't like it near as much then as I like FWP right now (pre-release
version shipped to early subscribers).  The interface didn't seem
as clean to me, but I feel that way about almost everything I've seen
on the Sun as compared to a properly done Mac application (Excel
qualifies, Word 3.01 doesn't).

Just my personal opinions.
