Yeah, and I did the same thing as well back in the early 90's. I defined two JES2 (VPS) remotes that would pass through my Windows 3.11 (and later OS/2 Warp) PC. One remote was set up for landscape and the other for portrait.
Later we moved to AFP printers and were able to use our mainframe pagedef's and formdef's and print on our desktop printers using PSF.

However I did it several years ago, on PC with OEM license, so it was no saving from dumping windows. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
