Where can we find specifics on this UCITA (or what are some specifics)?
Maybe I'm just a lamer, but I've never heard a word about it. I guess I

Hi, everyone,
This probably need to migrate to issues, but...
I think I need to point out that Adobe is one of the companies funding the
lobbying in favor of UCITA. I don't often agree with RMS, but he is 100%

I'm already a FrameMaker user and eagerly
await the time when I can run a lot more

Is the 40MB the source or the installed size? Running out of space on
