        To me availablility across as many platforms as possible is a key 
        ingredient here. Performance and price are also big 
        considerations.
        
        Having seen Frame 3.0 satisfied the performance/functionality 
        issue. Platforms are everywhere. Price was good for the main line 
        we need it for: SCO OpenDeskTop ($995)
        
        Since Interleaf was not available where we see the biggest 
        market, why even bother looking. Perhaps it is simply too high 
        end for us, but Frame seems to do everything imaginable plus 
        some. I guess you know what the conclusion was, right?

        PS We don't have 3.0 yet on the SCO platform - another couple 
        weeks they say. [Maybe August? :-)]
