[Framers] Display full path in FrameMaker book or list of references

[Yves Barbion]

Hi Rick

I knew you 'd have a clever script like PathChanger. ;-)

I think my customer can use this. His main problem was actually to collect
all the files in a FrameMaker book to send them out for translation. Fm's
Package feature didn't work well, so I have already shown him where he can
purchase ArchiveES:

And now I see that this is also the place where we can find more
information on PathChanger:

Thank you very much, again, Rick! You rock! ;-)

Cheers

Yves
