Re: RE: [WEB400] finding the print job number for a cgi job

["Mike Naughton" <mnaughton@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We've used Gumbo's Spool-A-Matic for almost a year, and we're very happy
with it (although we really just use it in one specific application so
far). It cost $1500 (maybe processor-group specific - we're a P20 - but
IIRC they have pricing on their web site). We looked at several products
-- there's a bunch out there, in all price ranges (including free and
close to it), but the spool files we're converting are IPDS and that
_severely_ limited the choices.
