No, the source was never released and the port was dropped offically by
Adobe claiming lack of intrest by the Linux community. It perhaps would
have fared better if they had used a non Tk interface (Qt or GTK+) and the
damn thing didn't cost so much.

I still don't get the point of spending all that cash for an SGML editor.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me as to the benifts of FrameMaker?

The x86 RedHat version won't run on a YDL machine :)
