Scott, I really appreciate that you tried! I've been able to resurrect some of the text using text editors, but the ideal scenario would have recovered the diagrams as well.
My heartfelt thanks, Doug ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Prentice Cc: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: FrameMaker 3 files Hi Doug... Got your files, but unfortunately I've been unable to open them in FM4. When I try I'm told that they are damaged. I tried using a heroic open, but that doesn't seem to have existed in FM4 (when I use it I end up with a "H" in the current document, which indicates that the Esc o H key sequence isn't defined). I suppose that it *is* possible that these files are in fact corrupt. When I open them in a text editor, they have the basic chunks of stuff that you'd expect, but there could be some extra binary bits at the end that may be causing the problem. FM4 doesn't have a "SaveAs FM3" option so I can't compare a "good" file against yours. You can open them in a text editor and pick out some of the words in plain text, but that's probably not terribly useful. Perhaps someone else actually has a copy of FM3 .. or if you're lucky you could find one for sale on eBay. Sorry I wasn't able to help! ...scott Scott Prentice Leximation, Inc. www.leximation.com +1.415.485.1892
