FM4 SCO exists, and should work with Linux, but...

- As you wrote, we can't use the floating Licensing of frame, so we
*must* have a license for our site : one Frame for one computer, and the
license work with the name of the computer (!) and with the IP address,
so you can't change one of them (it's the old - and stupid - Frame
licensing system).

- There is no official technical support for this release, and there is
some bug or strange comportement with FM-SCO.

- Frame release 5 exists since april 1995, but there is today no
intention to port this for SCO, as I know. Frame is now a part of Adobe
Coorporation, and the politic of Adobe for this is not yet defined.

There was a lot of talk about this subject in group
comp.os.linux.*(software?). See the archive of this group for more
information.
