Re: HTML to Spool File

["Shannon O'Donnell" <orion@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Brad! That gave me an idea. I have a java app I wrote to retrieve
HTML from a web page. I can just retrieve the HTML from the web page and
dump it into a database, and then write it to a printer file that way.

I'll have to resolve links and such, but for what I'm doing this for, that
won't be a big deal.

Thanks for the suggestion
