This is FrameMaker-Upgrade in view mode; [Up]
Date: Sun 03-Oct-1991 17:37:23 From: anderson@macc.wisc.edu (Jess Anderson) Subject: FrameMaker Upgrade A couple weeks ago I asked the net about FrameMaker 3.0 (if/when released, etc.). Thanks to all those who replied. Tuesday I got a mailing from Frame touching on this question. Here's what it tells me [my interpolations in square brackets]: "Dear FrameMaker User: "I am writing to notify you of an important event -- FrameMaker 3.0 for NeXT computers is due to ship the first of October! [I got this letter, not the product, on October 1st.] But wait, there's even more good news... According to our records, you may qualify for a free upgrade to FramerMaker 3.0 -- a $150 value! Upgrades are free to those who have purchased FrameMaker 2.0d on or after March 4th, 1991. "[Summary of new features: tables editor, conditional text, 24-bit color support, color PostScript output, international languages for spelling and hyphenation, enhanced performance, bug fixes, entirely new documentation.] "Please be aware that FrameMaker 3.0 for NeXT computers is available on 3.5" floppy media only. We will no longer distribute FrameMaker on optical disk due to the high cost of that media [sic]. "To receive your free upgrade, simply mail or FAX the enclosed card to Frame Order Administration. Phone: (408) 428-6161, Fax: (408) 943-6549. This free upgrade offer is available for a limited time only. We must receive your response no later than Monday, December 16, 1991. Make sure you name, address, and registration number are accurate. ... After we receive your completed response card, you'll receive your upgrade within 3 to 4 weeks. ... Jan Shipley NeXT Upgrade Administrator Frame Technology" Well, a letter on the 1st of October is better than nothing. Being able to respond by faxing in the card, I thought, was a nice touch. As for the "3 to 4 weeks," I'm counting. I guess the most important piece of info is the clue on who gets the upgrade for free.
