Iseries Forms design and spool merging software






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???


Thanks!!
