Alright, so I decided to goof around with AFP spooled files
and overlays and PCL and stuff.  :)

Anyhow, I'm using IBM's sampler from their AFP info web
page.  Program INVNEW1 creates an invoice.  When I create
PCL out of this (using host print transform API), and
transfer it to my PC things look good except for one thing.

In the overlay, it looks like some certain characters aren't
getting converted correctly.  For example a space becomes a
@, a period becomes a weird "K", and a few others like
colons and dashes are also converted weird.  But this is
only in the text that is part of the overlay.

I have used a few different WSCST objects for the conversion
and still everything comes out like that.

As an example, the text:

Ship Via:

Comes out as:

Ship@Viaz

I've pretty much traced this to the transform and not ftp
process.  I'm using the host print transform API to do this.
Any ideas?  Even where to start looking?

Thanks.
