The mif2go Cheer Squad pomm-pommed into town -- Colin, Fred, Jeremy (hmmm!
sounds familiar), Jerilynne, Lori, Michael, Sheila, and Stuart.  And then

A couple of people suggested saving as Japanese RTF, which seems to work

[Windows 2000, FrameMaker 5.5.6p145, FrameScript 1.27C01, Enhance 2.02,
Acrobat 4.05.2, mif2go 31r25, IXgen 5.5.h]
