I got FrameMaker+SGML 6 to work with DocBook 3.1 SGML. Officially FrameMaker+SGML 6 does not read XML files, but it can if done correctly (a proper declarations file). I tried Docbook 4.1.2 and 4.2 with FrameMaker+SGML 6, and it was very frustrating. Generally the program crashed when trying to import the DTD to form the FrameMaker EDD. After mucking with it awhile and removing a bunch of attributes, I got 4.1.2 to load and create the EDD. I never got 4.2 to load. But then the program would crash when trying to read or write SGML files, even simple ones. Since I was still in my support time, I filed a report with Adobe and they investigated. They came back and said that version 6 won't work with DocBook 4, but they expect the next version to. We'll see. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 Caldera International, Inc. fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@caldera.com
