For the record, the Wash as MIF command works perfectly in the free trial version of Mif2Go. The only thing affected by the trial version vs. the fully licensed version is that the word order is randomized in many of the converted output formats (e.g. HTML Help) so that you cannot use the trial version to produce real deliverables. The utility functions work fine.
Manual washing is only a few simple steps (saving as MIF, then opening the MIF and saving as .fm), but when you have Wash via MIF in the menu you get really lazy... -Fred Ridder > Subject: RE: Import by Reference Question/Bug ? > Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:31:03 -0500 > From: Jim.Pinkham at voith.com > To: FeiMin.Lorente at onsemi.com; framers at lists.frameusers.com > > Yes, that's right.
