# 36 Converting via runfm

Omni Systems runfm is an asynchronous FDK client for FrameMaker version 6.0 and above. Use runfm to run one or a series of unattended Mif2Go conversions from outside FrameMaker. This section shows you how.

Note: Unattended conversions are meant for production use, where the process has first been worked out interactively. To use runfm, you must have Mif2Go installed, and you may need Windows administrator privileges.
