Just thought you would all get a kick out of seeing something really cool
that PCL makes possible with filePro. Jim Asman does this for a client in
Florida. Check out some of the amazing forms he generates first in PCL and
then converts to PDF's. These are then put up on the client's website.

To see them, go to:

   www.floridagreyhoundracing.com

Choose 4th button down on the left (Sarasota.. this track is active now). On
the page you get choose the "Race Programs" button and you will get a page
of viewable PDF documents for each days racing. A group of 14 races. Boy,
you will not believe the layout on these forms. It makes it clear that
filePro can generate _any_ possible form you can think of, should you take
the time and have the talent to do it.(Jim does :-))  He tells me there are
roughly 3,000 PCL commands on each output format, some in processing, some
inside print codes.  All work together to generate this amazing 14 page
form!!!!!

Also, try the Race Results button to see another amazing layout...

Then if you want, look at the bottom of the Race Results page for the same
data in a .txt format.  Mind boggling.

Just thought everyone would like to see this... hope you don't mind, Jim.
