I don't have FrameMaker handy to verify my memory, but I believe that
opening a MIF file requires the file to be saved, regardless of the
extension. Opening a genuine FM file that was converted from a MIF
with a utility like dobatch or dzbatcher, doesn't require the file to
be saved unless the user performs a change in the opened file, or the
file has cross-references to other files, and the file is set to check
such external cross-references when the file is opened.
