Re: [Framers] Mif2Go and FM 2015

[Syed Zaeem Hosain]

John, I think I found a slightly similar issue reported by you before (although 
the error was different: type 1) back in August of 2014.

Apparently, Malware Bytes was causing a problem for you … ? Later, you reported 
setting exclusions for the Omsys folders later … but I wonder if that was the 
real source of the problem.

Your threads were called “Mif2Go suddenly failing on all machines” and “Still 
stuck on Mif2Go, deadline approaching”.

I know you are busy with the particular document you are working on at the 
moment, but if you try without Malware Bytes, I wonder if FM 2015 works for you 
…

If so, then this would be a good info for others!

Hi Syed,
I have the m2rbook.dll in place.
The issue that I run into is a familiar one, and infuriatingly vague. It's a 
"could not write .mif" issue.
I have seen this before and resolved it for FM12. I expect I can do it again 
when I have some time later this week or next week.
In case you want to research it, here's the log. The book is well-formed 
unstructured FM 2015, cleaned up for online use. It has just four chapters, 
none of them very large, and no special tricks.

Mif2Go could not write 
C:\Project\ToBeProcessed\DomainManagerUsers\DMU_Security_Intro.mif

In one file, where Jeremy checked for the FrameMaker version number returned by 
the Adobe FDK, he had code to do a specific check for the version of FM.

From what I can tell so far, the last change he made for FM 12 stopped doing an 
explicit check for an exact version for FM 12 and above.

I.e., the code says “if (FrameVersion >= 12) {“ rather than the other ones that 
look like “if (FrameVersion == 11) {“ and “if (FrameVersion == 10) {“, etc. 
This variable is set by a call to the Adobe FDK and I assume that FM 2015 
returns the value 13 (but this is a guess).

This means that he was assuming, for the moment, that the next version of 
FrameMaker did not need any special code (he had not seen FM 2015, of course …)

So … I think it may work. But, please try it and let me know! If it does not, I 
will investigate further.

By the way, one side note: it looks like the very last release of Mif2Go will 
not work with versions older than FM 7 … even though Mif2Go was available for 
FM 5.5 and FM 6. It is possible that Jeremy took the code support for those 
older versions away, since nobody(?) was using them by 2013.

Re: [Framers] Mif2Go and FM 2015

[Syed Zaeem Hosain]

Okay, I did a little digging in the source code for m2rbook … and think his 
last fix (as per my earlier e-mail below) may work for FM 2015 … but am not 
really sure yet!

In one file, where Jeremy checked for the FrameMaker version number returned by 
the Adobe FDK, he had code to do a specific check for the version of FM.

From what I can tell so far, the last change he made for FM 12 stopped doing an 
explicit check for an exact version for FM 12 and above.

I.e., the code says “if (FrameVersion >= 12) {“ rather than the other ones that 
look like “if (FrameVersion == 11) {“ and “if (FrameVersion == 10) {“, etc. 
This variable is set by a call to the Adobe FDK and I assume that FM 2015 
returns the value 13 (but this is a guess).

This means that he was assuming, for the moment, that the next version of 
FrameMaker did not need any special code (he had not seen FM 2015, of course …)

So … I think it may work. But, please try it and let me know! If it does not, I 
will investigate further.

By the way, one side note: it looks like the very last release of Mif2Go will 
not work with versions older than FM 7 … even though Mif2Go was available for 
FM 5.5 and FM 6. It is possible that Jeremy took the code support for those 
older versions away, since nobody(?) was using them by 2013.

John, that would be great, thanks!

And just to remind people of the specifics: there is a zip file 
“m2rbook115.zip” in the mif2go.com downloads site, under “Beta Components”.

This ZIP contains a single DLL file called “m2rbook.dll” that must replace the 
older one (typically in “C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12\fminit\Plugins”) for FM 12 to work.

I am not sure why this simple fix works yet. The code contents are essentially 
identical to the old one … the properties on the version number are the only 
difference that I can see with a byte-for-byte comparison.

Some investigation is needed to see if this will work for FM 2015 or needs 
another fix. Since I am not running FM 2015, I cannot test this.

Celine and John,

I cannot assist you in using Mif2Go with FrameMaker 2015, but I can 
offer that ePublisher 2016.1 works great with FrameMaker 2015.  No need 
to save 50-75 files to older FrameMaker versions.  And WebWorks Reverb 
offers a modern help experience that works great on mobile devices and 
is well liked by Google search bots.

Unfortunately, yes.

Over the past year, I have started looking into migrating it to a more recent 
version of Visual Studio rather than reload the very old version of Visual 
Studio 6 that this was last compiled with.

The code is a bit tortuous in places, so to speak ... needs more understanding 
of the thinking that went into it.  It needs more effort than I have been able 
to put into it just yet due to some medical issues at home.

But, this summer, I hope to make progress ...
