        [And Brad Said:]  Holy Artificial Intelligence, Batman!  I've heard
of products, but I don't see how they would (realistically) be effective.
At least not a subsitution for good old fasion programming.  (Rewrite!)

        [And Brad Said:]  My SPLTOOL utility will put a spooled file in text
form (or with any extention that you choose), and I'm working on an update
to make it produce HTML as well.  This should be available at the very
latest by the end of next week.  You can download the current version at:
        http://prairie.lakes.com/~bvstone/as400sw.html
        Follow the download link.  

        A service pack will be made available when the HTML processing is
available.
