Subject:Re: Frame 4 vs Frame 5 From:Bruce Byfield <bbyfield -at- AXIONET -dot- COM> Date:Sat, 7 Jun 1997 10:21:28 -0400
>Is there _useful_ new functionality?
Nothing major. However, Frame 4 doesn't have the convenient HTML and
Acrobat conversion. Also, third party add-ons may not work.
Incidently, it also appears that Adobe has stopped development of the
Win 3.11 version. The latest upgrade for Win95 is 5.1.2, but the CD
contains only a version of 5.1.1 for Win 3.11. That's not too important
now, but it may be so later.
>Is it easy to convert Frame 4 docs?
Mileage varies. Some people have had no problems. Others, including me,
have had a miserable time. I had problems with page layouts and
paragraph tags converting, and I've heard of others who have had trouble
with index markers and cross-references.

It cannot be denied,
That these are sins: greed, tyranny
Hypocrisy and pride."
