Re: Changes in MIF output in FM 8.0

[Robert Lauriston <robert -at- lauriston -dot- com>]

Per Quadralay, ePublisher 9.2 supports only FrameMaker 6.0 through
7.2, you'd need ePub 2008.1 or later for FrameMaker 8.0:

Though you might want to consider switching to MIF2Go rather than
upgrading ePublisher. Or just stick with FrameMaker 7.x.

You guys should have hired me, I'd have had this straightened out by now. ;-)
