Adobe certainly agreed. They made the effort to create a Linux port of Frame, put it through beta, then didn't sell it. > The reality is that the Linux/BSD/BEos/XXX market IS tiny > except for those outside the "West", and they don't pay cash. "Tiny" doesn't mean "worthless". Adobe is still developing and maintaining Frame for Solaris, HP-UX and AIX, at least on non-intel hardware. The the Windows and MacIntosh versions may be required to make the Unix version pay for itself. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
