SAN JOSE, CA -- September 7, 1994 -- Frame Technology today announced
the availability of FrameMaker for NEXTSTEPTM. Now NEXTSTEP users
can run the award-winning desktop authoring and publishing software
on HP PA-RISC Series 700 workstations and 486 and Pentium PCs with
Intel processors, as well as NeXT computers. All three platforms
are included on one disk set in this newest version of FrameMaker,
based on FrameMaker 3 for NeXT.
"FrameMaker is an award-winning software package that will further
contribute to the success of NEXTSTEP in the marketplace and attract
more users," said Steven P. Jobs, chairman and CEO of NeXT Computer,
Inc. "With Frame's experience in multiplatform environments,
FrameMaker will integrate seamlessly into the NEXTSTEP environment."
For customers like McCaw Cellular, FrameMaker's compatibility across
a wide variety of environments is a strong point. "FrameMaker is
a company standard and the primary tool we use for technical
documentation and operational user guides," said Jonathan Weeks,
technical architect at McCaw Cellular. "One of the best aspects of
the program is that FrameMaker is available on so many platforms,
so we can easily share documents between multiple authors and
increase our overall efficiency."
Advanced Product Features
FrameMaker software combines word processing, page layout, graphics,
equations, conditional text, tables and book-building tools for
creating a wide range of publications, from lengthy technical
manuals, to reports, newsletters and presentations. Advanced features
in FrameMaker for NEXTSTEP include integration with NEXTSTEP's
Digital Librarian, and Webster's Dictionary and Thesaurus. With
FrameMaker for NEXTSTEP, customers also receive -- as a bonus --
international-language dictionaries providing spelling and hyphenation
support for French, German, Italian, Spanish, U.K. and U.S. English,
Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Dutch, Finnish (hyphenation
only), Norwegian and Swedish languages.
"Our decision to support the NEXTSTEP marketplace was based on a
growing demand from customers, and on our commitment to support
the industry's leading computing environments," said William R.
Pieser, Frame's vice president of marketing. "By building this
version using our successful FrameMaker for NeXT product as a base,
we were able to make it available to NEXTSTEP users much sooner
than if we had waited for future FrameMaker architecture."

price for new and upgraded single-user licenses. A new FrameMaker
for NEXTSTEP single-user license is priced at US$995 (MSRP). Also
