Apple move to Intel: a hope for FrameMaker on OSX?

[Paolo Tramannoni]

Hi all,

I assume there are still several FrameMaker Mac users here around. Like
me, you are still using it on Classic, and are in fear of the announced
dead of the only way of running FrameMaker without a Windows PC.

Now, don't you think there are chances Adobe can riconsider its
decision, and port a new version on the Mac? Differences between the
Unix and Windows version do exist wit OSX, but they should be less than
before, due to the change of the inner code.

Best regards,
Paolo

I guess it was not much work before as FrameMaker has started on Unix
anyway - so it is much more marketing related, ie Adobe wanting to push
us to InDesign.
As much as I hate loosing FrameMaker I do not have hight hopes,
unfortunately.
I'd certainly like to be proven wrong :-)
