Re: Framemaker vs. Pagemaker - gossip

[Katav <katav -at- YAHOO -dot- COM>]

From what I do ** NOT ** see on FrameUsers, I think
the 'K2' thing /may/ rank down there with the Holiday
virus -- PM and FM play to different audiences; FM is the ONLY
high-end, really robust page comp app to play on all (major) platforms
-- Interleaf quit the Mac some time back and Ventura, not really in
FM's or Interleaf's class for extensive inter-chapter xrefs and 'book'
features, is still Windows only ... PM while a l-o-n-g way from what
is WAS still is not a FM; Adobe has to worry about Quark. Seems to me
if anything, PM would be killed, with FM getting anything usefull
(e.g. more flexible layouts easily applied) from PM. 'Course, the
bottom line IS the bottom line ...
