FrameBuilder's usefulness as an SGML tool, at least in its initial
incarnation, is minimal, at best. While it does understand a certain
amount about document structure, it can't, in fact, yet create a DTD,
nor can it read a currently SGML-encoded document, nor will it convert
existing documents.
Some of us were severely disappointed.
