FRAME TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FRAMEMAKER 3 ON NEXTSTEP FOR
INTEL
Reseller agreement with Lighthouse Design announced
SAN FRANCISCO, June 21, 1994 -- Frame Technology Corporation today
announced plans to introduce FrameMaker 3.2 on NEXTSTEP for Intel.
FrameMaker, an award-winning writing, design and publishing package,
was ported to NeXT workstations in 1989. This new version is being
developed to meet customer demand for FrameMaker on the NEXTSTEP
platform, and is based on FrameMaker 3 for the NeXT MC 68000
workstation.
"We're pleased that Frame has decided to continue supporting
NEXTSTEP," said Steven P. Jobs, chairman and CEO of NeXT Computer,
Inc. "We will work closely with Frame and our mutual customers to
ensure that FrameMaker integrates seamlessly with the NEXTSTEP
environment."
"We see the decision to support the NEXTSTEP marketplace as strategic
for the company," said William R. Pieser, vice president of marketing
for Frame Technology. "The combination of customer interest and
NeXT's new technology makes NEXTSTEP an ideal platform for
FrameMaker."
"We already have significant interest in this port from our federal
government customers," said Bob Reddick, director of Frame's federal
group. "We're happy that we'll be able to deliver FrameMaker to them
on the NEXTSTEP platform."
FrameMaker Product Features
FrameMaker combines word processing, page layout, graphics, equations
editing, conditional text, "intelligent" cell-based tables and tools
for creating a wide range of documents, from lengthy technical
manuals to reports, newsletters, and presentations.
Plans for advanced features in FrameMaker for NEXTSTEP include
integration with NEXTSTEP's Digital Librarian, and the Webster's
Dictionary and Thesaurus. FrameMaker software offers integrated,
multifile book-building facilities, including automatic table of
contents and index generation; font, spelling, and hyphenation
support for 13 languages; and sophisticated cross-reference and
indexing tools.
