Hi, Dean

It depends, again, on what Kenneth was asking. Sounds like he wants
overlays to put on SCS-data stream reports. Maybe we're like the 6 blind
men and the elephant.

Anyway, your idea of using Acrobat appeals to me, too. With the AFP Windows
driver, the printout from Acrobat could be, by easy and natural transition,
converted to an *OVL object, to be attached to a print file.
