LeLand - I have TXT2PDF running as a stage of a PIPE that reads input from the RDR and sends it directly to RSCS or my FTP2HOME machine where it gets FTP'd the the user's network home drive. I use the FORM and DIST parameters to decide how to the files should be processed and distributed.
We use TXT2PDF in production every day. The main use is to produce academic transcripts. The text of the transcript is created on VSE and routed to my VM/PDF machine where the registrar's signature and the seal of the university are added from .jpg files. The result is sent either to RSCS for direct printing to PDF capable printers or it is sent with SSL security to the eScrip-Safe.com Global Electronic Delivery Network. See: http://www.scrip-safe.com/sendtrans.html The second popular use is to send reports from VSE to a user's network home drive. The reports are routed through VM/PDF where the green bar overlay is added. An unexpected bonus I discovered is that space suppress carriage control works perfectly and we can therefore send underlined data. Without PDF the underline appears on a new line. I'm VERY happy with TXT2PDF and I recommend it every chance I get. At this time I am not looking for any improvements to TXT2PDF. I may use the fonts feature when available but I doubt if I'd ever use the UNICODE feature. /Fran Hensler at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania USA for 45 years mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://zvm.sru.edu/~fjh +1.724.738.2153 "Yes, Virginia, there is a Slippery Rock" -------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:31:46 -0600 LeLand Lucius said: {snip} >I guess another couple of questions would be to ask if anyone even uses TXT2PDF >anymore and if they have ever mucked about with the translation tables? > >Leland
