Batch Conversion of Frame Referenced Graphic Calls

[Lea Rush]

Hi Tony,

I don't know what you used before, but I strongly recommend using a *.mif
and something like Notepad 2 to do a Find and Replace All for *.tif to
*.gif. I did this myself a couple of days ago, and it saved me several hours
of changing cross-references manually. 

Good luck,
Lea

> Hello -- about five years ago I was given a method for converting all
