Hmmm. Framemaker is running fine on my potato system. It does not seem to
run over remote X, at least to a system running in 16 bit color depth.
However, it certainly works under the correct set of circumstances. The
problem is not with the potato libc. Also, so far the application has not
crashed on me. That's surprising for any beta. I'm just not sure I need it
for anything since this one cannot edit postscript files.
Thanks. Syrus.
