Wish For The FP Dev Wish List (Large Report Format Hardcopies)

[John Esak]

Well, let's see, based on the pcl code you put on the form, you can get as
many pages as you want. The limit of the filePro form is not meaningful,
really. I had a multi-page work order form that Jim Asman reshaped for me to
include beautiful boxes, shading, lines, etc., etc. and I believe it
currently prints about 9 pages per record... souble sided at that. Trying to
do it all within the 255 line limit would be _very_ tough. :-)
