Archive all imported files

[Jeff Coatsworth]

Bruce died last year - that's why you don't see it around anymore. There's an archive script built in FM 10, but I don't know of anything off the top of my head that works in FM 8. Google the frameusers.com site to see discussions about the Archive tool's fate.

Hi, all;

I'm wondering what ever happened to Bruce Foster's "Archive" tool for FM (v8). I am hunting around Carmen Publishing, Leximation, Techknowledgecorp's Handy FrameMaker tools page, and various other sites; and I can not seem to find it anywhere.

We just want to open a book, click a menu item, and have it "package" the BOOK file and all of the FM, graphics, and text insets into a new folder or ZIP file, for purposes of archiving and "freezing" revisions (no, we don't have a CMS--got to do it all via folder/file operations).

If Bruce's Archive isn't available anymore, what other options do we have? Seems like FrameScript could do it (of course) but I'm not sure if that's our simplest or most cost-effective option (i.e., we don't need "to pack a U-Haul for a weekend trip," so to speak).

Suggestions?
David
