In einem Beitrag auf framescript-users stellt Frank Elmore eine neue Beta-Fassung des nächsten Releases von FrameScript vor:
Hello Scripters,
There is a new beta for FrameScript 6 on the ElmSoft web site (http://www.ElmSoftOnline.com). One big change for this beta and for the upcoming release is that there is now only one install file. The FrameScript clients for all the supported FrameMaker versions are included. This means that if you have more than one version of FrameMaker on your computer, you will not need to install separate versions of FrameScript for each one. It will be installed in all of them or you may select to which FrameMaker installations you wish to have FrameScript installed. Also, and possibly more important, when you upgrade your FrameMaker, the FrameScript for it will already be there! Frank Elmore
