I have just run the FrameMaker update package, which says of course that there
is documentation for it in the release notes [not online there isnt].  So I
took a good guess, and with a little work, got the new files installed in
the right place [I am reasonably sure].  However, when I try to run it, I get
the following messages in the console:

maker: Using /LocalApps/FrameMaker.app/.fminit2.0
maker: Using DEBUG mode
maker: Using HEAP-CHECKING mode

Apr  5 00:05:09 zardoz FrameMaker[828]: An uncaught exception was raised
Apr  5 00:05:09 zardoz FrameMaker[828]: DPS client library error: PostScript
program error, DPSContext 1321a0
Apr  5 00:05:09 zardoz FrameMaker[828]: %%[ Error: undefined;
OffendingCommand: fillbox ]%%

...and it dies.  Now, I dont know what the update does (did), but FrameMaker
*did* run OK before I did the upgrade.  What did I do wrong?

I hope this isnt one of those asked-100-times-before questions.  I try to
keep up on those.  Please send me email rather than clogging the Net any
further.  Thank you very much.
