Conversion of a Framemaker file?
All, Using Framemaker 7.2 with all updates/patches on Windows XP/SP2. I have several hundred inherited FM files that I need to update. One of the files is giving me that infamous error although the .fm appears to be an fm file, it cannot be opened with this version of Framemaker. Since I am running 7.2, I am assuming that somehow it was created with 8.0.x (which is weird since the version of FM that I am running is what my predecessor also used.) Does anyone out there have FM 8.0 that would be willing to open this file and save it as a .mif so that I can get it converted to a 7.2 file? (I have tried that heroic open command but to no avail either.) TIA, TVB Tammy Van Boening Senior Technical Writer Health Language, Inc.

Try opening the Frame file in Notepad. ;-) You won't see much that's intelligible, but the very start will be MakerFile 7.0H if it's from Frame 7.0. (The letter may be different, but the number is what counts.) That way you'll know if it really is from Frame 8. Another thing to check is whether the byte count is an exact multiple of 1024. If not, the file may have been corrupted during transfer, either because it was treated as ASCII instead of binary, or because something was added to the end (like a CR/LF pair). If it's just two bytes over, you can use a hex editor to trim it back; I wrote a little utility to do that. If it's more, you probably need to get another copy from the originator... -- Jeremy H.
