	If anyone can help on any of the below - please let me know...

    Running a recent i386 -current:

	Could you install the emulators/suse_linux-6.3 libs and try the 
	editors/framemaker package and let me know if it brings up
	any windows? (You will need to comment out the 'BROKEN' line
	in the Makefile)

    Running a native suse linux 6.3 install

	Could you try the linux framemaker download from
	http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/fmlinux.html
	(Trying to determine if the problem is NetBSD or SuSE 6.3)

    Someone who understands the linux emulation setup :)

	The linux framemaker binary runs fine on 1.4.2 using the 6.1
	suse_linux libs, but fails with 6.3 (even if the kernel allows the
	new linux vfork() syscall).

	It looks to be a linux libc issue, installing suse_linux-6.3
	and then overwriting the following with the 6.1 versions
	and all works fine:

		/emul/linux/lib/ld-linux.so.2
		/emul/linux/lib/libc.so.6
		/emul/linux/lib/libdl.so.2

	There is an additional problem with the fa.clickprint and other
	'plugins', that shows up with 6.3 bash.

	Yeck... I ran NetBSD so I wouldn't have to deal with this mush :)
