I understand, that FrameMaker does not ship FilterPak for NeXTSTEP. Also the  
RTF standard in NeXTSTEP is not comptible with the RTF format generated from MS  
Word or other applications on Macs and PCs. Not compatible in a way that German  
Umlaute and other special characters are not translated. I don't care who  
generates or translates crap, but we need working translation and filter  
software for the major text processing packages, spreadsheets.  If not we can  
forget getting NeXT into heterogenous environments.

Is there anybody working on stuff like that ?

Thanks

-Florian
