Conversion of a Framemaker file?

[Tammy Van Boening]

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
