I need to convert some fairly complex Scribe documents 
(like the Adobe PostScript "red book") into Frame.
They currently use some heavily customized Scribe database files (a custom
Scribe document style) to generate PostScript output.

Has anyone created a Scribe "back end" such that scribe itself
can generate Maker .MIF (or .MML) files at output?  I assume
it would take some combination of several scribe database file types
to get all the right things to happen (.dev, .lib, .fon, etc.)
With all of Scribe's flexibility and indirection, this should be doable.
Anyone already skinned this cat?

Any pointers would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
