RE: Using OO concepts in RPG

Huh?  Windows-specific?  It has nothing whatsoever to do with Windows.  I
use it with Twinax-attached printers (no Windows in between).  I use it
with JetDirect attached printers.  I use it with printers attached to
FreeBSD workstations.

Host Print Transform sends the printer's native language (PCL3 in the case
of most HP Inkjets) to the output device.   In fact, it causes confusion
for my Windows users, since it doesn't use the Windows printer driver, and
they just can't understand that.

As for the other issues,  I don't know of any printing solution on any
platform that automatically prints numbers in red or double-underlines.
However, like any other printing solution, you can code it yourself.  Draw
a line underneath the words you want double-underlined.  Change the color
of the negative number to red.  It's just a matter of coding the
appropriate DDS keywords.
