Maker is used to achieve consistency in documentation within industries such as aerospace, where several models of the same complex product exist, or pharmaceuticals, where translation and standardization are important requirements in communications about products. Structured Frame. Maker uses SGML and XML concepts. The author works with an EDD Element Definition Document, which is a Frame. Maker specific DTD Document Type Definition. The EDD defines the structure of a document where meaningful units are designated as elements nested in each other depending on their relationships, and where the formatting of these elements is based on their contexts. Attributes or Metadata can be added to these elements and used for single source publishing or for filtering elements during the output processes such as publishing for print or for Web based display. The author can view the conditions and contexts in a tree like structure derived from the grammar as specified by the DTD or as formatted in a typical final output form. Unstructured Frame. Maker uses tagged paragraphs without any imposed logical structure, except that expressed by the authors concept, topic organization, and the formatting supplied by paragraph tags. When a user opens a structured file in unstructured Frame. Maker, the structure is lost. MIF Maker Interchange Format is a markup language that functions as a companion to Frame. Maker. The purpose of MIF is to represent Frame. Maker documents in a relatively simple, ASCII based format, which can be produced or understood by other software systems and also by humans. Any document that can be created interactively in Frame. Maker can also be represented, exactly and completely, in MIF. The reverse, however, is not true a few Frame. Maker features are available only through MIF. All versions of Frame. Maker can export documents in MIF, and can also read MIF documents, including documents created by an earlier version or by another program. HistoryeditWhile working on his masters degree in astrophysics at Columbia University, Charles Nick Corfield, a mathematician alumnus of the University of Cambridge, decided to write a WYSIWYGdocument editor on a Sun 2workstation. He got the idea from his college roommate at Columbia, Ben Meiry, who went to work at Sun Microsystems as a technical consultant and writer, and saw that there was a market for a powerful and flexible desktop publishing DTP product for the professional market. The only substantial DTP product at the time of Frame. Makers conception was Interleaf, which also ran on Sun workstations in 1. Meiry saw an opportunity for a product to compete with Interleaf, enlisted Corfield to program it, and assisted him in acquiring the hardware, software, and technical connections to get him going in his Columbia University dorm room where Corfield was still finishing his degree. Corfield programmed his algorithms quickly. After only a few months, Corfield had completed a functional prototype of Frame. Maker. The prototype caught the eyes of salesmen at the fledgling Sun Microsystems, which lacked commercial applications to showcase the graphics capabilities of their workstations. They got permission from Corfield to use the prototype as demoware for their computers, and hence, the primitive Frame. Maker received plenty of exposure in the Unix workstation arena. Steve Kirsch saw the demo and realized the potential of the product. Kirsch used the money he earned from Mouse Systems to fund a startup company, Frame Technology Corp., to commercialize the software. Corfield chose to sue Meiry for release of rights to the software so they could more easily obtain additional investment capital with Kirsch. Meiry had little means to fight a lengthy and expensive lawsuit with Corfield and his new business partners, and he chose to release his rights to Frame. Maker and move on. Originally written for Sun. OS a variant of UNIX on Sun machines, Frame. Maker was a popular technical writing tool, and the company was profitable early on. Because of the flourishing desktop publishing market on the Apple Macintosh, the software was ported to the Mac as its second platform. In the early 1. 99. UNIX workstation vendorsApollo, Data General, MIPS, Motorola and Sonyprovided funding to Frame Technology for an OEM version for their platforms. At the height of its success, Frame. Maker ran on more than thirteen UNIX platforms, including Ne. XT Computers Ne. XTSTEP and IBMs AIX operating systems. Sun Microsystems and AT T were promoting the OPEN LOOKGUI standard to win over Motif, so Sun contracted Frame Technology to implement a version of Frame. Maker on their Post. Script based Ne. WS windowing system. The Ne. WS version of Frame. Maker was successfully released to those customers adopting the OPEN LOOK standards. At this point, Frame. Maker was considered an extraordinary product for its day, enabling authors to produce highly structured documents with relative ease, but also giving users a great deal of typographical control in a reasonably intuitive and totally WYSIWYG way. The output documents could be of very high typographical quality. Frame Technology later ported Frame. Maker to Microsoft Windows, but the company lost direction soon after its release. Up to this point, Frame. Maker had been targeting a professional market for highly technical publications, such as the maintenance manuals for the Boeing 7. But the Windows version brought the product to the 5. Windows customer base. The companys attempt to sell sophisticated technical publishing software to the home DTP market was a disaster. A tool designed for a 1. And despite some initially enthusiastic users, Frame. Maker never really took off in the academic market, because of the companys unwillingness to incorporate various functions such as support of endnotes or of long footnotes split across pages, or to improve the equation editor. Sales plummeted and brought the company to the verge of bankruptcy. After several rounds of layoffs, the company was stripped to the bare bones. Adobe Systems acquired the product and returned the focus to the professional market. Today, Adobe Frame. Maker is still a widely used publication tool for technical writers, although no version has been released for the Mac OS X operating system, limiting use of the product. The decision to cancel Frame. Maker caused considerable friction between Adobe and Mac users, including Apple itself, which relied on it for creating documentation. As late as 2. 00. Apple manuals for OS X Leopard5 and the i. Phone6 were still being developed on Frame.
