We are considering purchasing a forms design and spool merging software
product.

Does anyone use any of the following products?

Are there any others available that I should look at?


Create!Form                             www.createform.com
        
Acom EzDocs/400                 www.acom.com                    

Formtastic/400                  www.quadrantsoftware.com

eliteForm/400                   www.elitedocuments.com

Winspool/400                    www.rjssoft.com                         

Formsprint/400                  www.formsprint.com


What features should I be asking about?  Here are some preliminary ones that
I thought of.  Can you suggest any other important features that would be
nice to have?

.       No additional charge for each new user or printer
        
        (This is critical because we don't want to limit the distribution of
a successful, popular report.)

.       Tool must support PCL (all normal PC type printers) and Postscript
type printers, and without any additional hardware      at each printer

.       Tool should be capable of taking a standard spool file and changing
fonts & adding bar codes WITHOUT program changes.

.       Tool should be capable of doing the above WITH control codes
embedded in the program.

.       Form design tool should be a graphical Windows-based WYSIWYG tool at
form design stage.

.       Report should successfully print with only an AS/400 working
(without a PC doing any merging or formatting after the         design
stage)

.       One should be able to design a single label and have the template
replicate to all labels on a page.  For example,        a sheet of 1" x 4"
retail shelf tags.

other features???
