Dave,

If I lost several lucrative jobs because I didn't have $900
for FrameMaker, you can be sure I'd find the $900 somewhere
or use my credit card.

I suggest that you shop around. For example, Frame 5 for PC or Mac
is $607 at Tiger Software, 1-800-888-4437. I've bought lots
of goodies from them.

Good luck.
