SPLF to PDF (Was Programming tools (was DDS Support))

["Bob Cozzi" <bobcozzi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I hate to keep sending people to this same sight, but I suppose these guys
are engineers, not marketers...


 www.export-ventures.com has a .PDF generator for any spool file. It runs
quickly and cost a few hundred bucks not thousands.

No programming required.

Check them out.

another problem is the closed architecture of the AS/400 that makes it
hard for tool-makers to make efficient system-type tools such as compilers,
file-converters, and the like.
