RE: SGML worries

This is all Windows (2000 specifically) related.

It didn't work quite that easily for me. I had to reinstall FM 5.5.6 to
tinker with a document from a previous release of software that I didn't
want upgraded to 6.0. Of course, that meant Windows now wanted to open all
.fm files with 5.5.6, which doesn't work very well for files created in FM6.

So I uninstalled FM 5.5.6 when finished. Yup, got the dialog that Windows
didn't know what program to use. Selected FrameMaker (not FM6, just a
generic FrameMaker listing) and applied it. Guess what? Got the same dialog
box every time. So I reloaded FM6. Solved the opening .fm files problem, but
I had to reset several files in FM so that IXGen would work again.

I was rather suprised that in Windows 2000 there weren't separate listings
for FM6 and FM5.5.6 when I wanted to select which program to use to open .fm
file. Rather there was a generic FrameMaker listing you could choose, which
(as we all know from reading this list) is whichever version of Frame you
installed last.
