Including EPS files in a Framemaker document using MIF



Hello all,

I have a question regarding importing encapsulated
postscript files into a framemaker document (I am
using framemaker 5.50 on a UNIX (IRIX) machine). I
have many eps files that I generate automatically from
a simulation and I would like to include these files
in a framemaker document using MIF. I have tried to
use a very simple MIF file of the form:

<Aframe 
 <BRect 0 0 5" 3.5"> 
 <ImportObject 
  <ImportObFileDI `<c\>data_node_93310.eps'>
 >
>

My problem is that the image does not seem to be found
by framemaker. I get the following errors:

mmltomif: mmltomif error number: 5012

I have tried many different methods for specifying the
filename/filepath but I can't get this to work. I did,
however, get this to work by moving the image to my
home directory and using the following MIF statements:

<Aframe 
 <BRect 0 0 5" 3.5"> 
 <ImportObject 
  <ImportObFile data_node_93310.eps>
 >
>

This leads me to think that the problem is the way in
which I specify the file path. I have, however, tried
many different methods (absolute path/relative path)
and nothing seems to work.

I am completely new to Framemaker and so if anyone
could point me in the right direction I would be very
appreciative.

Cheers, James
