Print Wizard CAN be used from Windows-based filePro

I have received comments a couple of times lately to the effect that "we 
can't use Print Wizard, our filePro runs on Windows." Not true. Let me 
clarify.

Print Wizard comes in three ways. In historical order:

1) As a feature in AnzioWin, where it can be used to do passthrough print 
from a Linux-based filePro.

2) As the Print Wizard Personal Edition (PWPE) product, which can be 
called from Windows-based filePro via a system call.

3) As Print Wizard Service Edition (PWSE), where it runs as a service and 
can receive print jobs from filePro running on Linux or Windows.

I believe that covers all filePro users.

Here's a reminder of some of the things Print Wizard (in any form) can do 
for you:

* Print reports containing plain text, auto-fitting text to the page.

* Print reports containing printcodes or PCL-5 to any Windows printer 
supported by Windows.

* Print barcodes (15 kinds), MICR, pictures, etc.

* Generate PDF files from any of that, without additional software.

* Email generated PDFs.

* Print precisely on pre-printed forms.

* Print multipart forms with many kinds of form overlays, on plain paper.

* Allow user or customer to sign a form before printing (or generating 
PDF).

* Combinations of above.

* Lots more.

Any questions?
