     Is there a Japanese version of Framemaker. If yes is it
     available in the US?

YES. There is a Japanese version of FrameMaker.

Here is what you will need to run it:
* A UNIX system with X-Windows (Sun HP, Sony NEC).
* A JP-PostScript printer (a normal PostScript printer won't do.)

For ordering information call 1-800-U-4-FRAME or you can contact Rick Collison
directly with questions about JP FrameMaker at: 1-408-922-2750.

I asked him about possible future versions to run on the desktop (Macs, IBMs)
and he said "Not in the next six months."

Yes there is. I have a brochure and US contact at Frame Technology
(but they are at home). I will attempt to remember to post tomorrow.

The version is a full bore FRAME intended for the Japanese market.
For my work I wanted it to be an English based product which also
supported Japanese. I would like to see the product or hear if
anyone has real experience with it.

Yes, but the documentation is all in Japanese.

> If yes is it available in the Us?

Maybe! If so, there is no customer support available since there is not a
trained cadre of support staff.

This was the status the last time I checked with Frame.

Yes, there is.  It's unfortunately 2 versions behind,
i.e. Japanese FrameMaker is at version 2.1 with no
support for tables or conditional text.

It is available through Frame directly here in the U.S.,
but without support.
