RE: Attaching Spooled Files to Email

["Reggie Acosta" <racosta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How about converting the reports to PDM or RTF (Rich Text Format) files?
There are some freeware commands that converts *SCS spooled files to
these formats. The only problem with that is they will be attachments to
the email. Then Adobe Acrobat Reader is needed to view and print the PDM
file. A viewer is also needed to look at and print the RTF file. But
then, page breaks are retained when printed. You win some, you lose
some. :)
