Passthrough Printing on FP 4.0

[John Locke]

Thanks, Bob,

That answers my question completely (I hope!).

I'll have my client contact you directly to get a license for AnzioWin,
and I should be able to take it from there!

Thanks also to everyone on the list who responded... you've been very
helpful. I'll drop a line when we get this solved...

Cheers,
