Unless I am mistaken, it sounds as if the material was created in XML using a DTD that the customer or the documentation team chose, then that DTD was incorporated into Frame's EDD format.
If you're fortunate, they may be using DocBook or one of its subsets, which could make the process somewhat easier than otherwise.
However, if it's already in Frame, why not keep it there?

Hi all,
I am starting a new gig Monday and have just been informed (by the developers) that the part of the applications help I will be working (updating and New content) on was previous done with Epic Editor (googled - states it is a XML editor ?) and then "converted to" Framemaker. At the moment I don't have much to go on but would like to be prepared at least with the basic.
(I belief is is a Unix shop but I know they use word as well as this was part of the orginal interview)
