File bloat in FM

[Alan Houser]

If you haven't already, check the graphics on your master and reference 
pages. I once encountered an embedded 25MB version of a company logo in 
a page header.

You should be able to delete the graphic representations in the MIF, as 
long as you don't break the MIF syntax.
