The best option for Windows/Unix is using a plug-in called IXgen. URL: > http://www.pacifier.com/~franks and Frameusers.com - Tools area > It seems to be a great tool.

[...] As usual, I cannot resist giving a UNIX script solution for MIF files, that don't require the use of IXgen: 1. Save the file to MIF. 2. Execute the following UNIX command: ex - file.mif << EOT g/<MType 2>/\ /<MText / s/SEARCH TEXT/REPLACE TEXT/ w! q EOT 3. Save the MIF file back to binary. Note that "SEARCH TEXT" is case-sensitive. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thomas Michanek, [Michagon], Linkoping, Sweden Documentation Consultant, FrameMaker/UNIX expert EMAIL: mailto:Thomas.Michanek@telia.com WWW: http://go.to/framers , or go directly to: http://w1.133.telia.com/~u13304072/framers - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Subscribe to Omni System's "Free Framers" list: send an email to majordomo@omsys.com with "subscribe framers" in the body ** To unsubscribe, send a message to majordomo@omsys.com ** ** with "unsubscribe framers" (no quotes) in the body. **
