SOLVED: Re: Single MIF for FrameMaker book

[Rick Quatro]

It turns out that creating a single FM document for all of the files in the 
book was the best approach. I was able to do this with a FrameScript script, 
and I now have a happy client. Thanks for all of the suggestions. If anyone 
else has this need, please let me know.
