                        OK, I assumed he really wanted a tool to do this, and some people aren't aware of what's available. Just trying to be helpful...

                          Thats true, I only ask after I have exhausted other means, how else do you learn if you don't do it.

                          Example, yesterday; I have my own print engine developed in .net, I've just implemented a feature called PassThrough (using GDI Escape Functionality), which willl enable to send PRESCRIBE commands to Kyocera MFPs. We have had a finisher added to our MFP which will sort, stack, pucnch and staple documents/reports. After 8 hours working on sending various commands to do the finishing part of the document processing, I finally gave up and contacted Kyocera, rhe tech. guy there said that he has the same MFP configuration was able to replicate the problem, which I explained, the 'finishing' subsbet of the PRESCRIBE commands were being ignored my the Kyocera OS on MFP, which he prompted replied back agreeing there was a problem and he was exculating it up to the development divsion. So 8 hours of pounding away at trying to get it working, consulting manuals, docs etc. I didn't give up hope until I had every avenue checked, when I knew the problem has hardware, only then did I contact the relevent parties. During the course of the day I did learn a whole lot about PRESCRIBE and MFPs :).

                                  I'd be using it 100+ times a day.

                                  Does it matter what I write here? Someone just has to say something about it.

                                      Unfortunately, with no many idiotic signatures now in place, I have basically stopped reading them... so without being told to look specifically at your signature, I would not have noticed that you provide such tools. Sort of like... Google gives useless links because of the amount of garbage out there; hard to find the golden egg in the manure pile.

                                          Look, troll, shut up already. I know this guy named Chris Losinger, right, and all he does is write image resizing tools and they rock. He is a sarcastic SOB but hell, he can resize images. Damned trolls!
