[Framers] Framemaker 2017 save backwards

[Art Campbell]

To follow the KISS principle:

   - If someone on '17 saves as either flavor of MIF, the file that is
   created is backward compatible with earlier revs.
   - All features not supported in the earlier revs are discarded.

So AFAIK, there is no reason to make your new employee jump through hoops
-- just do the Save as MIF when she needs to export something for a team
share.

If y'all do FrameScript, you could run up a script that works on files,
book contents, or directories to convert all FM 17 files to MIF like once a
day, at the end of the day and write the files to a subdirectory or other
location.
