I just upgraded to OS 2.0 and I seem to be having what could be a serious problem (for me, at least). When I re-index things that I have on-line, the Digital Librarian ignores Framemaker files! Since I've been using Framemaker for about one and a half years, I have an enormous amount of text saved in Frame files. To be unable to index this stuff and access it via the Digital Librarian makes the DL useless for much of my work. Has anyone else experienced this problem. I have read here of problems of 2.0 DL not updating indexes created under 1.0, or even updating new indexes created under 2.0. What happened? Has DL been trashed in 2.0, or am I missing something obvious? Has anyone had a similar experience with Framemaker files? (By the way, I'm using the 2.0d version of Framemaker that was made available at the last minute for those upgrading to 2.0. I don't see how this would cause the problem, however. I went through and re-saved several files to see if this would make DL recognized them, but it had no effect) -- =============================================================== David Carpenter dcarpent@sjuphil.UUCP St. Joseph's University dcarpent@sjuphil.sju.edu Philadelphia, PA 19131

I've seen messages about copying this file from the 1.0 release but the release of FrameMaker 2.0d we received had this file under FrameMaker.app/frame-ascii. So to solve the problem, I did: >cd /usr/lib/indexing >rm frame-ascii >ln -s /LocalApps/FrameMaker.app/frame-ascii If you don't have FrameMaker.app/frame-ascii, then you'll have to grab FrameToAscii from 1.0 and just place it in /usr/lib/indexing. - Christopher -------
