Chris,

I put the write_checks routine in ap.pl so that you can write the checks
after displaying payables. This also required a change in AP.pm to sort
the vendors by name. In my business, a 'vendor' can be a 1099 contractor
with several invoices per week.
I have to total these to write one check per vendor per week.
Additionally, the stubs list the invoice/stock number /vin/amount for
each invoice so that the vendor can verify each job.

The routine still needs a little clean-up and the latex template needs
to be changed a bit so that multiple lines on stub #1 won't shift stub
#2 down. (The business _really_  takes time away from clean up activity.)

BTW, my problem in the posted example was that I didn't set
$form->{media} = "printer".

If you are interested in these patches, please post. Note that my
SQL-Ledger implementation is quite different from the standard, but I
think I can remove my business specific changes to be of use to you.

Regards,
Ted P
