Does anybody know of a program that converts Frame's MIF files into RTF?

I wrote one in perl. It's not complete, but it emits warnings for
parts of the MIF file which aren't dealt with.

One glaring deficiency is the lack of support for anchored frames. It shouldn't
be too hard to do, but I haven't needed it badly enough to do it.

There are some architectural differences between MIF and RTF which would make
converting some documents nearly impossible. But, if your MIF document is
mainly one long flow, my program should create a reasonable RTF version.

Send email if interested.
