Searching Framers archives (was RE: FrameMaker on Japanese OS)

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the workarounds.

FWIW, I downloaded the archives to my Mac and searched them en masse  
using TextWrangler, a text editor.

Crazy really, it was only yesterday, but I cannot for the life of me  
remember the term I used to find that info. Tried 8.0.2, update,  
downloading, manually, updater...

Still, it would be great to get "proper" searchable archives back  
online. Yahoo Groups work well. Incidentally, when I set up my first  
list using LISTSERV, I hacked together a Perl script to search the  
list archives. I was really pleased with myself when I worked out how  
to highlight the search term in red in the results :-)

You can use Google. Enter " site:frameusers.com" (sans
quotes). Or you can browse the archives (by thread, subject, author, or
date) at: http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/

That said, a Google search for "framemaker update site:frameusers.com"
turned up some posts about the 8.0.1 update, but nothing about the issue
you mentioned. Maybe browsing the archives around the date of those
posts will turn up something. 

HTH!
Richard

You can use Google. Enter " site:frameusers.com" (sans
quotes). Or you can browse the archives (by thread, subject, author, or
date) at: http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/

That said, a Google search for "framemaker update site:frameusers.com"
turned up some posts about the 8.0.1 update, but nothing about the issue
you mentioned. Maybe browsing the archives around the date of those
posts will turn up something.
