If Virtual PC works even remotely similar to Fusion, then any of its
files would exist only as part of some archive of the program, visible
only from the program itself. This is probably very normal and not a problem.
If so, your only alternative would be to export it from some Windows/
It really depends on how much reuse you have and how much of an

I just counted. My Framemaker 8 crashed more than 80 times since June
last year. Framemaker 7 was so stable and robust.
It happens when I update the book, generate pdfs and often I cannot see
action that should cause the crash.
Do you experience the same? Is FM 9 more stable?

Hi Verner,

On my systems, 8 is more stable than 7 was, especially on book

When it comes up again, open the CS4 version only and see if that
