Fred:

I suspect that the best of both worlds solution might
not exist.  If the DOS report generator were compiled
into the Windows application, the printing would still
be Windows printing.  I'm guessing that to avoid
having Windows try to treat the printer like a regular
Windows printer you need to be running from a DOS
process.

Could you tinker around with your current setup to
make it invisible to the user?  Use LAUNCH instead of
the ZIP to fire off the DOS process (that way, RBWin
won't pause and wait until the report is finished
printing) and set up the DOS window that results to
appear somewhere off the visible screen, or to have
zero sized coordinates, or something.
