Hi, I lost the note on the source to get ISO 9000 ... 9004 via ftp. Who can
help?

BTW: Who has applied ISO 9126 (it is the on on Quality Characteristics)? We try
to use it in an European project nad it seems that the people don't like it
very much.

Thanks for an help,

There is something on the FAQ archieve site about this, so have a look
there. You'll need a good book on each:

For VDM :
	"Systematic Software Development Using VDM", Cliff Jones,Prentice Hall.

For Z:
	"the Z Reference Manual", Mike Spivey, Prentice Hall (I think)
or	"Z - An Introduction to Formal Methods", Anthony Diller, Wiley.

There was an issue of IEEE Software devoted to Formal Methods in the
last few years - you could get a lot of background and references
there.

Reply-To: tholome@esf.de (Eric Tholome)

Does anybody know how to convert back to normal a flow that has been turned to
Postscript?

The problem is: turning a flow into Postscript changes the text rectangle into
an object (in FrameMaker 2.1). Thus, it isn't possible to get back into the
flow
to be able to turn "Postscript" off in the "flow" dialog.

Why is that by the way? Why won't FrameMaker let me edit whatever Postscript
code I have in the text rectangle?

Any help will be appreciated.

Please respond by email and I will summarize to the net.

Thanks!

Subject: Showing EPS files in Framemaker
Date: 3 Oct 92 17:10:53 GMT
Organization: General Electric Advanced Technology Labs


  I often include EPS files generated from other programs (mostly graphs)
and would like to be able to see at least a approximate representations of
them when I include them in my Framemaker document.  The programs that
generate these EPS files do not include the "Preview Bitmap" that I think
Framemaker can use to show then on-screen.

  Is there any program out there that can take an EPS file that does not
have a preview bitmap and insert one in the file.  Some script using
ghostscript or another postscript renderer should be able to do this and I
had though about writing something but do not really have the time.

  As of now I end up turning off Framemaker's "show graphics" because I
constantly get eerror messages in my console whenever I am on a page that
has an included EPS file and an update occurs.


  Thanks....

I'll try to be more precise about our problem.
Information retrieval. In this are we normally use full indexing engines with
some simple query interface, e.g. Ful/Text from Fulcrum, Topic from Verity
and, why not, swais. In the case of FrameMaker documents we would like to do
that working directly on the "mif" version.
Configuration control. Here I was thinking of version control and also to those
case in which a document is build of (interrelated) subdocuments. There, some
control is needed to keep consistent cross-referencing, indexes and TOC. Even


worse, if authoring and commenting are allowed then comments related to
different versions, accepted comments, rejected changes, ...
Access control. Referred to the users which could read a document, but, also:
right to produce comments, read draft versions, re-write premission (authoring
support).
Workflow support. Documents are identified as included in a process which
controls their "status", distribution and access rights. Typically an
approval-distribution-archiving process.

Comments on different platforms are welcome.

I have some slides that I designed using Micrografx Designer (on a PC).
Now I want to import these slides into FrameMaker for Windows and I
want to modify these slides within FrameMaker.
I tried several ways of importing/copying the graphics, but 
everytime FrameMaker for Windows transformed the vector graphics into
a bit image. This is disapointing, because I want to modify
my lines, arrows, circles (etc.). Is there any way to overcome
this problem.

P.S.: I can not use Designer to modify the graphics, because
I switched to use FrameMaker on Sparc based computers. I would like
to use the MIF for transfering my drawings from the PC to my Unix

If you can't find 'expand' on your system, try looking for 'col'. It
does something very similar.

Hello,

Forgive me if this problem has been asked a couple of million times ...

I am having some problems running FrameMaker 3.1A on a Sparc station 2.  It
is currently running openwindow 3.0 and SunOS 4.1.1.

The problem is as follows:

When I start frame maker, a whole load of error messages will pop up on the
console window complaining something related to repeat.ps and nothing will
show up.  If I start again, a bunch of error messages will again pop up
except this time they complain about UI.ps.  Finally, if I try for the 
thrid time, frame maker will start but then if I use the scroll bars, it will
collapse with a internal error numbered 2198A8.

Has anyone seen this before?  If so, please let me know thru e-mail.   If
you need more details about the error messages,  I will gladly regenerate
and post them.  

Thanks in advance.

A troubled Frame beginner.

For safety's sake, you can also replace all spaces in your code examples with  
"hard" spaces. In addition to being forever freed from modification by "Smart  
Spaces", these "hard" spaces also guarantee correct monospaced alignment, unlike  
"soft" spaces which are subject to being squeezed or expanded by Frame's alignment  
algorithms.

I am trying to use fmcolor(1) to convert color X window dumps to B&W, so
printing doesn't take forever.  The FrameMaker "documentation" essentially
says to run fmcolor for details on how it works.  The usage help is that it
takes an optional cutoff-intensity value.  The default result is pretty
terrible for my color schemes, so I spent a long time fooling around to find
that a cutoff value of 82 gives a pretty good result.  Does anyone know
anything more about the argument range?  Is it 0 to 100?  An RGB value?
Xpr(1X) specifies its cutoff value as a percentage of full brightness, with
fractions allowed.

Too bad your RS6000 doesn't have something like "Easy Access" on the Macintosh.  
That is a system-level utility that allows ALL mouse functions to be emulated on  
the keyboard - including drawing (albeit slowly). Moving between windows would be  
quite fast with this utility.

Is there some such utility out there for the RS6000?

Go with the 19" I use both a 17" and 19" monitor

Basically, you cannot convert the tabs directly, as vi, etc., uses "relative"
type tabs (i.e.: "tab" means go to the next tab stop after the current
position -- which is how it works on a typewriter) where Frame uses "absolute"
tabs (the first tab character means go to the first tab stop, etc.).

To convert, you need to change the tab characters to spaces.  Fortunately,
there is a program supplied with Unix (at least on the sun -- and I'm pretty
sure it is generic) called "expand" which converts tabs to spaces.

Once you've converted the tabs to spaces, everything will line up properly
when you import into framemaker (assuming you use a fixed width font -- all
bets are off with variable fonts).

I haven't gotten around to using this feature in Framemaker3.0
for windows yet. But with my 2.0 running on a Sun SPARCStation,
you have to do a lot of manual adjustment to get something like
this to work.

		x = a + b
                  = 1 + 2
                  = 3

Has 3.0 fixed the alignment of equal sign problem yet? Or do
I still have to handcraft every single line, which is really
very painful.
