<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Verdana">Since this
discussion has morphed a bit .. I'll add a bit more to the
MIF/XML thread. When XML came around I always thought how nice
it would be to be able to convert between MIF and XML. Since MIF
does have some similarities with XML, it seemed like a
reasonable thing to do. So in 2003 I created the beginning of
what has become MIFML (the XML representation of a MIF file).<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://leximation.com/tools/mifml/">http://leximation.com/tools/mifml/</a><br>
<br>
I developed a DTD that maps all MIF 7 statements to comparable
XML structures (including embedded graphics to some degree),
then created a command line utility to perform the conversion
from MIF to MIFML and back. This utility and the DTD are freely
available from the URL above.<br>
<br>
I haven't touched this code in years, so it's stuck at MIF7
level, although that should still work reasonably well.<br>

Just goes to show how pioneering the original product was. Afair, its only competitor was Interleaf, which required one 'administrator' per six or so seats.
