Dear Joe,

I think that the best format for distributing AS/400 spooled-files to PC 
users is the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). You can find free ware & 
share ware on the net that will let you create your own solution for 
converting spooled-files to PDF. For instance there was an article in 
NEWS/400 about a Java class and  Thomas Merz has a "C" library that can run 
on the AS/400 (PDFlib.com)  Bradley Stone also has shareware that can do 
this conversion for you.

There are also commercial solutions available from Gumbo, RJS & Robot that 
may meet your needs. May I  suggest you look at "PDFingMailer" 
http://www.PDFing.com first?

Regards

David Fowle dfowle@dircon.co.uk
