[Framers] [WTF ramemaker] Anyone using MIF-to-Go with FM '17?

[Syed Zaeem Hosain]

MIF to XML may be more straightforward than what I am trying to do (because at a cursory glance, MIF and XML are pretty structurally similar ... with the exception of some binary content).

The goal of the MIFreader/analyzer I began last year, was to read and _understand_ the MIF structure, so that, interactively, changes could be made to the MIF data (per common requests I see on occasion).

Regardless, if Scott has his program available, great!

I think Scott Prentice was developing a MIF to XML converter. To me, that would give the most options for conversions to some of the other formats. Scott, is your converter still available? Thanks.

It did not work with FM 2015, and I was working on going the MIF2Go source to see if I could update it.

Unfortunately, my temporary license for FM 2015 expired before I made any real progress, so the project stalled.

Now that FM 2017 is out, I suspect it does not work. Although I have the MIF2Go sources, I don’t have access to a licensed version of FM 2017, so cannot resurrect this effort.

Separately, however, I have made much progress on a MIF file reader/analyzer to do a LaTeX convertor for myself – my current process is manual.

I need a lot more MIF material to test my code with though - all my test files are from FM 12. So, I may, someday, provide a completely new MIF2Go equivalent for the community.

In the meantime, sorry for the news, Art!
