	I've been evaluating FrameMaker for possible purchase by the
lab I work in.  Bibliographic support appeared to be the major missing
feature for us (we do lots of academic papers).  It appears, however,
that EndNote Plus (a nice bibliographic database and formatter) on the
Mac can read MIF files.  You need to make sure that the reference
markers are all on one line and not hyphenated so that EndNote can
read the file and replace the in-text citations with the appropriate
text.  I had to save the FM file as text and run it through EndNote a
second time to get the bibliographic entries, since EndNote just tacks
them on to the end of the MIF file which causes FM to complain.  It is
probably possible to create special MIF versions of EndNote
bibliogrphic styles such that all you would need to do is open the MIF
file from a text editor and move the entries into the body of the
document.  I don't enough about MIF to know how to do this.
