## 34.4 Executing operating-system commands

Suppose you always check files out of a source-control system before you convert them, and check them back in afterward; or suppose you always copy generated files to multiple locations after conversion. Mif2Go can perform these kinds of chores automatically by executing operating-system commands that you specify in the project configuration file.

Note: When you use system commands, exit and restart FrameMaker between projects; otherwise, some internal variables might not be re-initialized.
