I'm not in Austrailia, but I *WOULD* be very interested in hearing about
new versions of Framework.  I agree that it was/is one of the best integrated
packages available.  I also am convinced that it is one of the worst.  In
other words, I have a love/hate relationship with Framework and Fred.

If Framework can catch up on the features of its individual aspects to
reach competitive levels, and if Fred would be more of a programming language
and less of only being a macro language, I'd be REAL tempted to go back to
Framework.

Anyway, please post the continuing saga, or add me to your email list.
Thanks much, Dan K.

P.S.  Framework fans might take offense at my description of Fred.  Sorry,
but (1) I feel that way, and I think for good reasons, (2) I'm not up to
posting a discussion of "Why?" here, and (3) I wouldn't be so critical if
I didn't care - I DO love Framework.
