'Using FrameMaker 5.0' has a long list of credits for documentation, QA,
software development and tech support. This was published when Frame was
still owned by Frame Technology. I don't have my 5.5 manual here but I
wonder if the credits were retained when Frame was taken over by Adobe.
Oracle publications often credit authors and contributors.
Perhaps this practice is more common in larger organisations?
I don't think I'd mind getting support calls. I'd end up passing them
on the the support desk anyway, but in the meantime it would be a good
chance to ask the customer for feedback.
