I meant something that application users on different platforms can print with, not something that they could coerce a platform into supporting given enough energy (e.g., via Cygwin). The closest to an option so far seems to be to generate PDF and assume an application is available to print it. Not beautiful. Alan Isaac -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
