RE>Importing .MIF files into help? 5/16/96
Why don't you try printing the files as EPS files and see about importing
them into your help system? I don't know whether your help system can import
EPS graphics, but it would be worth finding out. The screen capture route
does sound a little cumbersome and crude, but it might end up being the only
thing you can do if you can't import EPS.

Greetings,
We have a number of basic Frame .MIF files that we need to get into our new
help system. I'm assuming there's no .MIF to .BMP converter since that
would be too easy. We're actually thinking of taking screen captures using
our Mac screen capture tool called Flash it and then just saving each screen
figure as a bitmap. This "solution" seems kind of ugly so before I mess
with this I thought I'd do a little brain picking. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.
thanks,
