I have both a FrameScript and ExtendScript version (for FrameMaker 10). You
can get a site license for either one for $80. If you are interested, please

It's unfortunate that you headed down the "Structured Application" path

I've evaluated a number of DocBook and DITA authoring tools. With
Oxygen XML, which is the easiest I've tried, I created a sample
project and generated output within ten minutes. It took me somewhat
longer in XMetal but it wasn't hard.
FrameMaker 10 is by far the most opaque putative DocBook / DIT

Seems like FrameScript could do it (of course) but I'm not sure if that's our
simplest or most cost-effective option (i.e., we don't need "to pack a U-Haul
for a weekend trip," so to speak).
Suggestions?

Is there some way to suppress the page numbers in a FrameMaker 10 list
of paragraphs?

Hmmm ... no need to make it too complicated, I suspect. I suspect a variant of
the following command line (if you are on a Unix system anyway) will probably
work:
sort < inputfile.txt | uniq -c | grep -v " 1 "
to find any lines that are present _more_ than once.

Bruce died last year - that's why you don't see it around anymore. There's an
archive script built in FM 10, but I don't know of anything off the top of my
head that works in FM 8. Google the frameusers.com site to see discussions
about the Archive tool's fate.
One can pretty easily write a little script (perl, python, etc.) that ticks
through a text dump of this list and flags you for dupes. If you haven't
tried to do this sort of thing, it is worth the effort and will spur you on
to inventing more such tools. That beats the heck out of visually scanning
Skimming an alphabetical list of a thousand or more headings is not a
very efficient or reliable way for me to find duplicates.

Is anyone else working on exporting from FrameMaker to Confluence 4.x,
or actually doing it using anything other than Confluence's Word
import (which is slick but has some serious bugs) or WebWorks (which
generates Confluence 3.x wiki markup rather than 4.x XHTML)?

It seems I discovered that this is a longstanding bug in FrameMaker, as
I found a solution on the Adobe forums that was developed for version
7.1. The bug is still there. If you import a text inset hard against the
