Hi Jeremy!
The price will be available when it's actually available .. hopefully soon.
MIF2Go is definitely a good option, and is cheaper than this plugin will
be. These tools are a collection of utilities that I've developed over
the years to handle various situations, for preconversion cleanup,
post-conversion-table cleanup, and then the actual topic/map shredding
process. The main reason I'm making this available is that I've recently
had a number of clients who wanted me to set up a conversion table based
conversion process for them to use to convert their own content. I've
needed to take these tools and wrap them up into something that could be
used by someone other than myself, so I figured that I'd make it
available as a retail product.
If you're comfortable with using MIF2Go, then this plugin isn't likely
to be of much use (although the preconversion tools may be useful for
that as well), but if you want to go the conversion table route .. the
tools in this plugin will probably save you lots of time.
As Jeremy says .. check out both options (and others), before heading
down one path.
Cheers,
...scott

Leximation will soon be releasing a plugin called FM2DITA. This is
basically a collection of tools that make it much easier to convert from
unstructured FM to DITA. If you're using the FrameMaker conversion table
method for converting, this will save you lots of time. Here's the
current docs ..

You might want to mention the price you have in
mind. We don't even look at tools that don't
have prices on their Web site. Red flag. <g>
If you're interested in giving this a test drive, contact me off-list.
This is not yet available for purchase, but I hope to have it ready in
the coming weeks.
Or, if you want to use the tool chosen by 26% of
FrameMaker users for this (per a recent impartial
poll), check out Mif2Go:
http://mif2go.com
We've always recommended Scott's DITA-FMx for those
who plan to continue editing in Frame. However,
for the conversion itself, we've been fine-tuning
for several years, with the help of DITA-TC members
who are using it for major conversion projects at
their Fortune 50 companies... ;-) So we're a tad
ahead in this area. Check out both, and decide
for yourself.
