Subject: Power 6 Printing Solutions?

We are finally going to get a new Power 6 low end box to
replace our old 
faithful 270. As usual some of our vendors are looking to
this as the chance 
to make a bundle off of a no value transaction. You would
think being on 
maintenance is enough not to mention a tier downgrade from
P20 to P05.  And 
you wonder why people are leaving the 400/iSeries???

Back to the point.  We are currently using BCD's Catapult to
split and email 
/ pdf files from the iSeries.  What are some of the
alternatives? Catapult 
has served us well but does have issues from time to time.
I would love to 
hear about alternatives especially ones recommended by
actual users.

Any suggested development tools as well? As far as the
iSeries go we are 
primarily green screen. Any other development we do is
linked in to MS 
Visual Studio via VB or ASPX .net development.

Thanks for any help!
