Doug, you didn't mention and it would probably be too good to be true, but if
you have PDFs of these files, you can export those PDFs as HTML, which will not

Hi Diana...
This may not be exactly what you're looking for .. but I've been
successful at using the "dita4publishers" DITA-OT plugin to convert
DITA content (authored in FM or other XML editors) to the ePub format.
If you'd like more info on this, let me know.

Actually you can start with a MIF file which was saved from

I was able to open FM3 files (from 1992...) in FM9, without any
problems/messages, so it may indeed (unfortunately) indicate that something
is wrong with the files themselves.
Here is a sample FM3 file, in case you want to try opening it in your system:
