Re: PageMaker 6.5 to FrameMaker 8 conversion--Any Tips?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Back in the days when ILeaf and Frame were both turnkey systems delivered only 
on UNIX stations, I preferred ILeaf.  It had features that Frame lacked at the 
time, such as automatic updating of numbering when you dragged chapter folders 
and section files and, of course, multiple levels of Undo.  But ILeaf stumbled 
badly in its attempts to move from a workstation/system to software, and by the 
time they had a usable Windows product FrameMaker has caught up on most of the 
features (except Undo) and had captured the market share.
