Well, Fred has a point, but as far as I know, all legacy versions of Frame can open a MIF file and FM 10 can back save in several earlier version MIF formats. If there are functions or information in it that are newer than the opening version, that data is ignored (I don't know if it is discarded or preserved though).
But if you have some real antique FM files, download the eval and have it it.... Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com "...
