Quiz and pdfs

Tue Apr 11 07:19:48 CDT 2006

Hi all:

If you have a C compiler

   P. G. Womack has posted his C code for creating a pdf on
  http://www.planetpdf.com/developer/article.asp?ContentID=6219

OR

If you have ReportNet or Impromptu Web Reports you could use the report
creation and distribution capabilities of those products.  You could use 
Microsoft's
text ODBC driver to access your disc files.

Regards,
Peterateman
