In 1999 Adobe made a beta native version of FrameMaker 5.5.6 for Linux,
it was freely available from their ftp site.

It never made it out of beta -- there are rumours the project was
killed by Adobe management as part of a deal with Microsoft (this was
the halloween documents era), but who knows.

Here is the original press release:

And it would have been downloaded from this page:

https://web.archive.org/web/20000303113845/http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/fmlinux.html

I think this software is lost - I can't find a copy of it
anywhere. I don't suppose anyone on this group has a copy in an old
backup or something?

It would have been called "fmlinux2.tar.gz"

(I realize the beta will have expired -- that's okay!)
