RE: Optio formally known as XPoint

        [HP/Oracle 6.002 moving to 6.004]

        We originally looked at JetForm, Optio and EDI (Electronic Document 
Interchange, I think), and we have used Optio for about 2 years now.  I 
would swear by it!  It has given up the functionality so that we can map 
our spool files, and even create and send new reports, based on what was 
printed.  For example, our Shop Packet Print (pick list) generated from 
BPCS shows only the information based on the shop orders created.  What we 
do is take some basic data off of that form, run a SQL script, and build a 
picklist based on all open shop orders.

        The SQL scripts definately help out with the cheques, POs, Invoices, 
etc. 
 - in 6.002 SSA left out a lot of pertinent information in these spool 
files.  And for security purposes we altered the lp command from bpcs, so 
that no matter where they try and print cheques - it automatically sends it 
to Optio, and Optio sends it to a secure printer.  It routes the copies of 
our POs as well - so that each department receives what they need.

        We are just migrating up to the latest version, and we are planning on 
incorporating the FaxFx program so that we can automatically fax our 
releases from BPCS.

Subject:        Optio formally known as XPoint

Anybody ever used a forms generation program known as Optio (formally known
as XPoint) to create P.O.'s, Customer Invoices, Sales Order
Acknowledgements, or A/P Checks? Is the program any good? Is it better than
EZPrint? Likes/Dislikes? Do they have a support presence in the West?

Any feedback appreciated.
