Hi, Jeremy, In the past, I have noted your generosity and appreciate your assistance to people in need!
Fortunately (touch wood!), I have not taken advantage of it, since I have stayed employed over the years. And, unfortunately, I cannot justify purchasing the full MIF2GO for my employer, since my need for its capabilities is quite minimal. Someday though ... :) So, yes, a freebie MIF Wash capability makes me quite happy, since I have had to do that manually on occasion to clean misbehaving .FM files. And, your option for this wash makes it far more simple to do (I assume I can do it to the entire book - all files contained in it - just as simply?) Regards and thanks again!

Thanks much, if so! You're welcome! ;-) >(ala the FrameMaker LITE discussion), have you ever considered a low-cost (or >freebie - I hope) LITE version for those of us who do not need the full power >of MIF2GO and cannot get the justification for buying that? No. I don't like "crippleware", where features are removed to maintain sales value in the more complete product. The Jabberwocky is as close as we'll come to that. Basically, we *already* give Mif2Go away to anyone who cannot afford it for a good reason, like unemployment. We see no reason to subsidize greedy corporations where the savings go into the pocket of an overpaid CEO, and do absolutely nothing to help the employees. Used to be, we gave away one copy for every two or three we sold. Last few years, it's ten free for every one sold. Lots of pain out there these days, and that's where we choose to put our support. -- Jeremy H. Griffith, at Omni Systems Inc. <jeremy at omsys.com> http://www.omsys.com/
