Frame 11 catastrophe -- unable to open old Frame files

FrameMaker 11 is backward compatible with old .FM files and FrameMaker 
doesn't have the capability to create a Word .DOC file. FrameMaker can 
save as a .RTF file, which Word can read-- but various objects and 
FrameMaker features will be lost in translation. Most importantly, 
saving as .RTF won't overwrite the original .FM file. So if your .FM 
files are gone and something is there in their place, blame a human 
being, not FrameMaker.
