Internally we have a C program that runs on the PC that understands
Reflections "Label" format.  This format is real easy to figure out.  We
print to a flat file, and then download the file to the PC using
Reflections, and then use this C program to reconstitute the original
file.  It doesn't understand CCTL, it mearly strips it off.  This works
fine for the JetForm output and is probably OK for Fantasia but I'm
afraid there are no guarantees.

We use this for automated comparisons of the HP3000 QA suite, and our PC
QA suite.  Let me know if you'd like the source.
