migrating from FrameMaker to a wiki

[Shmuel Wolfson]

It doesn't sound like a very complicated import. If can supply a list of 
URLs for the target wiki pages, you could probably have someone write 
you an import utility for free by posting your request on this forum:
http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?board=71.0

The Coding Snacks page is where you can request small programs. If you 
like it, you can make a donation to the author.

The other option is to write something yourself using the AutoIt 
(www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/). It's easy to learn.
