E-Book conversion (WAS Framescript or plug-in to merge all files in book to 1 FM file?)

[Art Campbell]

Yves,

When you first posted this, I didn't think there would ever be a need for
it, but I just ran into a problem where I needed it. I have to convert a
book to Amazon's Kindle format, and they prefer a single monolithic HTML
file as the input type. In fact they seem not to accept any multi-file
formats. I'm using MIF2go for conversion, and there's no way to cocatenate
with it.

So the solution is to cocatenate all the FM files into one, and then export.

It turns out that Rick Quattro does have a cocatenate-all-files-in-a-book
script, and it seems to work great, at least for my project, which doesn't
include cross refs, inter-file linking or anything fancy. It's just straight
text, as in a novel -- in fact, it is a novel.

But the script is available, and it works great. Rick's at
frameexp...@truevine.net .

 I'm looking for a Framescript or plug-in to merge all files in a FM book

 Thanks.
