Importing Books into CMS - Graphic Linking Issue

[quills at airmail.net]

The only way to do this effectively is to save all the files as MIF, 
then run a grep program to search and replace the characters that get 
stripped out with an acceptable character or to remove it. If your 
grep program is capable you can do an internal search of the MIF 
files (they are text) or run a program Like Textpad or Oxygen that 
can search and replace through a batch of files.

You'd have to open all of the MIF files and save them back as FM 
binary, of course, though that could be scripted through FrameScript.
