Yes, this is a good approach.  But you don't need WebWorks to
get MIF for all the files in your book, including the .book
file itself.  You can do it with the *demo* version of Mif2Go,
no need to purchase.  Just set up a project with MIF as the
output format.  For MIF, the demo and registered versions
are entirely identical.

One nice feature of Mif2Go's method is that you can save
the files as MIF in a different directory, but keep the
extensions of the Frame binary files, .fm and .book.  In
addition, this does *not* alter the relative paths.  Why?
Because that way when your script is done, you can just 
drop the altered MIF files back into the original dir,
and they Just Work.  (We did this originally to allow use
of CVS to store MIF files, so diff would work on them,
and provide for easy restore.)  This saves you the extra 
step of resaving them as Frame binary at the end; as soon
as you edit one, Frame will save it in binary automatically.

The free unlimited demo version of Mif2Go is available at:

You might want to wait until tomorrow; we're putting
a new upgrade (53) on the site later tonight.  ;-)

HTH!
