That's odd... the file is actually in binary format? What happens if you bring it into a plain text editor, such as wordpad? If it really is an FM binary, AND you actually did select the save-as mif option, something is broken. But don't try to open the MIF save in FM, as it will convert it right back to an FM doc. Use a plain text editor to open the MIF version. (There might have been a way to prevent FM from doing this auto convert of mif on open, but durned if I can remember it now.)
