Applications Of Mif - Adobe FRAMEMAKER 6.0 Manual

To disable a command, you must supply the hex code, called an fcode, that internally represents that
command in a FrameMaker product. For example, you can disable printing, copying, and unlocking the
document by supplying the following statements:
<DViewOnlyNoOp 0x313> # Disable printing
<DViewOnlyNoOp 0x322> # Disable copying
<DViewOnlyNoOp 0xF00> # Disable unlocking the document
The following table lists the files where you can find fcodes for commands:
For this version
UNIX
Windows
Macintosh
See the online manual Customizing FrameMaker Products for more information about the commands file
in UNIX versions. For information about disabling commands on the Macintosh, see the Frame
Developer's Kit (FDK) manuals, available separately.

Applications of MIF

You can use MIF files any time you need access to a FrameMaker product's formatting capabilities. This
section provides some examples of how MIF can be used and some tips on minimizing MIF statements.
You can use MIF to:
Share files with earlier versions of FrameMaker
•
Perform custom document processing
•
Write import and export filters for FrameMaker documents
•
Perform database publishing
•
Sharing files with earlier versions
A FrameMaker product automatically opens documents created with an earlier version of FrameMaker
(2.0 or higher).
To use an earlier version of FrameMaker (such as 2.1) to edit a document created with a later version of
FrameMaker (such as 6.0):
Use the newer FrameMaker product version to save the document in MIF.
1
Open the MIF file with the earlier version of FrameMaker.
2
Earlier versions of FrameMaker do not support all MIF statements in the current version. For example, when
you use version 2.1 of FrameMaker to open a document created in version 3 of FrameMaker, MIF statements
describing tables and conditional text are skipped. Ignore the related error messages. For a description of the
differences between MIF 6.0 and previous versions, see , "MIF Compatibility."
Look here
$FMHOME/fminit/language/configui/Commands, where language is the language in use,
such as usenglish
install_dir/fminit/configui/cmds.cfg, where install_dir is the directory where the
FrameMaker product is installed
fm_codes.h, which is available separately with the Frame Developer's Kit (FDK)
