Well, I've been working with a document, a multi-part book, that I had
created under SunOS/Solaris.
While one cannot make PDF files with this release, as Distiller is not
available, you can make a PostScript file that is Distiller ready. One
of my sections caused an immediate crash of FrameMaker when trying to create
said file. Creating a plain PostScript file works just fine.
But, there is a major problem, which I have reported to Adobe. If any of
the files that make up the book contain an underscore, i.e., name_section.fm,
the "_section" part of the filename will be removed from all hypertext links.
This means when you click on a link, it will look for "name.pdf". Oops.
The underscore is not an illegal character in Unix filenames, yet Adobe
throws it, and all remaining characters, up to the period in the extension,
away. Not good. The last thing I want to do is rename all my files and
rebuild the book.
Other than the above, the program is working very well indeed. Much better
than using it under Windoze. I've put back in my personal Command files and
added my personal fonts, so I'm back to where I was under Solaris.
This program beats word any day, hands down.
