Getting WebWorks to Talk with FrameMaker 6

If you used to convert FrameMaker 5.5 books to HTML and you have upgraded to FrameMaker 6.0, then you'll need to perform a few short fixes in order to use WebWorks 2000. Prior to making these fixes, close FrameMaker and WebWorks. The fix is a three-step process:

1. Install a DLL.
2. Edit maker.ini
3. Edit webworks.ini

Step 1: Install a DLL

Download the DLL named wwpfm6.dll. Copy this file to the following folder:

C:\Program Files\WebWorks Publisher 2000\bin

(The preceding pathname assumes that you installed WebWorks on your C drive.)

Step 2: Edit maker.ini

Using NOTEPAD, edit the maker.ini file, which is probably at the following pathname:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker6.0\maker.ini

This file is divided into several sections. Find the [APIClients] section. Add the following line to the end of this section:

WWPublisherComm=Standard,WebWorks Publisher Plugin,C:\Program Files\Quadralay\WebWorks Publisher 2000\bin\wwpfm6.dll 

(The preceding pathname assumes that you installed WebWorks on your C drive. If you didn't, you'll need to adjust the pathname accordingly.)

Step 3: Edit webworks.ini

Using NOTEPAD, edit the webworks.ini file, which is at the following pathname:

C:\Winnt\webworks.ini

You'll need to make two changes.

First, change the following line:

FrameMakerPath=D:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker5.5\FrameMaker.exe

to:

FrameMakerPath=D:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker6.0\FrameMaker.exe

Next, change the following line:

FrameMakerClass=FrameFamily5.5MdiFrame

FrameMakerClass=FrameFamily6.0MdiFrame
