Hi Debbie...

I think you'll need to provide a bit more information about what you're trying to do. A ".c" file is typically souce code in the C programming language .. is that what you mean? You're trying to save a FrameMaker file to C code? In theory, that's certainly possible, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Give us more info, and we may be able to help.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the reply. My development team wants any content to be "as flat (unformatted) as possible so that we can store it as any other .c file in our configuration management system." We currently produce unstructured FM, but are looking to move into structured, and in doing so I've been asked to ensure that content is stored as flat as possible.

Does this help?

Hi Debbie,you can store any kind of files in a configuration management system. So of course you can store fm-Files to. You can save unstructured documents to MIF if you want to have a text format, but this doesn't make many sense to me. But if you will have structured content in future, it makes many sense to save your FM content to XML and store XML to your configuration management system. In this case you save data without any layout information. I could imaging this is what your development team wants. I don't think file extension cares your developpers. Bye Markus
