Hello All,

We'd like to have users create spool files on our HP3000 (5.5 pp 6) which
can automatically be sent to a directory on our NT network.  Each user has
been assigned a directory on the network, and we need to be able to send the
users' spool file to his/her network directory. That is, we need a way to
identify the spool file as belonging to a user, then send the file to the
proper directory on the network.  We'd also like to incorporate the spool
file and report name into the file that's created on the network. The users
will then download the data into Excel.

Right now, we are retrieving the spool file through a DTC port, using a
script to identify the spool file and writing the file to a network
directory.  Then Monarch is used to strip out extraneous info (headings,
page numbers..) so that the data can be used as needed.  This method is slow
and unreliable, so we're looking for alternatives.

Thanks for your consideration.

Cary Marshall
