1.2 What you need to have
To use Mif2Go your computer system should be equipped as follows:
• Windows: 2000, XP, Vista, or 7
• Intel-compatible Pentium-level processor
In addition to Mif2Go, you will need at least some of the following software:
File comparison tool (optional)
Ancillary tools for Help output.
You will need Adobe FrameMaker version 5.5.6 or a later version. Mif2Go supports FrameMaker versions 9 and 10, with the following exceptions:
• Books containing books are not supported; nested books are ignored.
• Non-FrameMaker files in books are not supported; such files are ignored.
To work with configuration files you will need a text editor, such as Notepad, that uses ANSI or UTF-8 encoding; do not use UTF-16.
File comparison tool (optional)
If you modify any of the local configuration files provided with your Mif2Go distribution, you might find it helpful to have a file comparison tool such as WinMerge; see §1.3.8 Obtain a file comparison tool (optional).
To have Mif2Go automatically archive the output from your conversion projects for safe storage or for distribution, you will need an archiving program that can be run from a Windows command line, such as WinZip (via wzzip) or PKZip.
Ancillary tools for Help output
If you intend to generate on-line Help, you will need one or more of the following tools; see §1.3.5 Obtain tools for Help systems or eBooks:

To produce Asian code-page output, such as for HTML Help in Japanese, you will also need two enormous ICU DLLs: icudt40.dll (13MB) and icuuc40.dll (1MB). These DLLs are available in archive icu401.zip (6 MB), which you can download from the Omni Systems Web site. These DLLs are not needed for RTF output.
