Indeed we have. We too have a demo copy of Frame. Interleaf gave a demo copy
too. In fact, any site with Interleaf can give you a demo copy, you can
save files and print only if you have a password. My feeling was that they
are essentially leap-frogging each other feature-wise, but that Interleaf was
ahead by a nose.
In the end our decision came down to the bottom line - cost. Interleaf gives
educational institutions a very nice deal... they practically give it away!
Frame has floating licenses, and with >150 Suns that would have run into
many thousands of dollars.
