Re: splf to Adobe conversion...

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Right you are. I wrote a little RPG program that interprets the print
control characters and expands it out to a print image, plus inserts an
ASCII form feed. I forgot that I did this to get it into a reasonable
format.

I like the other note here that points the output of a Client Access
printer to the Acrobat print file. That sounds more elegant!
