You answered my UNIX question, I think.
How is the speed in printing. filePro printing is extremely fast. Does Anzio
slow the process down, speed it up or does it remain the same?
I looked at Anzio two years ago, but I needed to have the form reside in
Windows or download the pcl file from windows in order to print through to
UNIX. I may be completely incorrect about the procedure, but it slowed the
printing procedure down and was much slower. This may have changed and if so
I would be very interested. We need to print perhaps 1000 to 2000 letters at
a time. I understand the speed of the printer will also effect the outcome.
We have heavy duty printers that are high speed that are directly connected
to our large copiers that copy 80 sheets per minute.
Again, we want to print through UNIX and not through windows.

Thanks to Tony for the plug. I'll expand on some things below...

The Print Wizard that Tony is using is the one built into AnzioWin, the
terminal emulator. That makes sense because he is running a
Unix/Linux-based filePro. Print Wizard is also available as a separate
program, for use with Windows-based filePro, and as an ActiveX object for
web-based filePro.
Tony describes how he creates his overlay files: scan-to-print-to-PCL5
for short. It is also possible to use other approaches, with tradeoffs of
speed, quality, and flexibility:
1. Scan and save as a full-page image file, in TIFF, etc.
2. If you have a form as a Word document, PDF, or other electronic format,
print to file as PCL-5. PW can handle these, even on a non-PCL5 printer.
3. Scan a paper form into OmniForm, which runs OCR and form recognition on
it, clean it up on-screen, and print to PCL-5.
4. Export from MS Publisher, etc., as EMF.
5. Version 16, now in beta, can directly read image PDFs (but not
"searchable" PDFs).
Finally, note that the text to go on the form can be plaintext, PCL-5, or
PWML, created by translating your printcodes.
See you all in Philly.
