Darren,
You might take a look at Mif2Go for the FM -> XML conversion step. It has
built-in support for DocBook and DITA. I have used it for DITA conversion.
The XML imported fine into XMetal. I would expect the same with an import
into Arbortext.

Subject: Frame xml to sgml conversion

Hello FrameManiacs,

We use Arbortext for sgml authoring. Due to differences in DTDs, using
structured FM for this is not an option for us. We have a need to
convert unstructured FM into XML that can be morphed-up to sgml either
by technique or application(s).
I'm curious to know what tools and/or techniques are being used to
accomplish FrameMaker *.xml files to sgml (non-Frame).

Thanxs,
DJ
