Re: Ways of converting spooled files to PDF

[Luis Rodriguez <luisro58@xxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

During a big spool cleanup that we had in our shop a couple of months ago,
what we did was to convert them to PDF using easy400's CVTSPLSTMF (
WWW.EASY400.NET) and archiving them on user accessible folders, with the
user name as the folder's name.
