Scripting pulling FM files from version control and creating PDFs

[Linda G. Gallagher]

Framers,

A client would like to be able to have a script that runs nightly that will
do the following:

- Pull FM files and books from their version control system (PVCS)

- Maybe set conditions (not sure if this is needed yet)

- Update the books

- Create PDFs of books and some stand-alone files

- Put the resulting PDFs in a specific place for the nightly build

It seems like fmbatch can do this, but I think it only works with FM for
Unix (they have FM for Win). 

Can any of the other FDK tools do this? (An in-house developer will likely
write the script.)

What about FrameScript?

What tool is best?

Thanks for your help!
