We are currently working with >printer specific PCL embedded in 4gl code. One way would be to output the report in such a way that it could be filtered. Extra commands (Troff fashion) could be output that direct the filter to add formatting. Then just pipe the report through the filter first. I seem to recall that there is software to this . I can't remember the name of the company, but they advertised software for doing "presentation reports" or something like that. -- Michael J.
