Hello Arnis,
I thought about making the software do what the documentation says. But I have to leave my customers with a process that is as near as possible to Frame out of the box because I may not be there when they expand/upgrade. There are also a couple of other issues on EDD creation from DTDs for a new SGML application where the software does not work as documented. I posted these to the FMSGML forum but got a loud silence back.

With these SGML issues Adobe is very close to breaking European laws on fitness for declared purpose. Given that the client for this project is the French government, it is a better bet to go with "documentation errors" than "FM7, as delivered, does not work like that". Subtle difference, but it's easier to produce additional documentation than to work out how to make FM7 behave as documented. Thus the fdf as opposed to Flk will be passed as a documentation error like the other issues.

Now all I have to do is work out how to build an EDD from a DTD that Frame has never seen before, and work out how all the EDD command line sequences have been translated into French. Adobe France do not know how it can be done and nobody else, that I know about, seems to know either. When I crack it, I'll post the solution to my own question in FMSGML.
Cheers
Ian
