Subject:MIF2MAN (was FrameMaker files to UNIX man) From:"Decker F Wong-Godfrey" <dfgodfrey -at- milmanco -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 9 May 2002 10:42:39 -0700
I didn't like my proposed FM -> HTML -> POD -> MAN kludge, so I looked
around a little for something better.
This question had come up on techwr-l before, and someone was looking for
MIF2MAN, and it didn't look like anyone had given the list a pointer or
code. So, after a little work I located MIF2MAN.
I've put it on my server:
www.apollonian.net/tw/filters/mif2man.tar.gz
I haven't used it; I can't tell you how well it works. I'm just beginning to
test it out, but because this question has come up before, I thought it
might be helpful to others too.

Hello all:
I have a client that has asked me to convert my FrameMaker 6.0 files to
UNIX man pages. The goal is to preserve formatting so I don't have to
spend time reformatting the text files.
Has anyone done this? Is there a utility I should can use?
Thanks, Larry
