> 37 Converting via DCL > 37.2 Using the DCL filter > 37.2.2 Preparing for conversion
Before you use the DCL command-line method to convert files, you must do the following:
1. Save the files to be converted in MIF format:
on the FrameMaker File menu, select
Save As.... For Save
as type choose MIF (.mif
).
2. Copy
a starting configuration file for the output type you want (see Table 30%OMSYSHOME%\m2g\local\config
to the same directory where
you saved the MIF files.
3. Optionally, create a document information file (see §37.4.1 Creating a document information file). Though not strictly necessary, it is often useful to have this information before adjusting configuration settings.
4. Edit the configuration file to specify settings. See §4.1 Working with Mif2Go configuration files for more information.
