Frank,
You may want to try a tool like Jeremy Pointer's (
jermp@pixie.co.za)Rawprint.fll. There is also a rawprint.vcx tool by Ramon F. Jaquez in the Files section under Classes-VCX (I don't have a premium membership, so I can't give you a link to it).
I have used the FLL to print several dos built reports to dot matrix printers, with very good results. I have never used the VCX, but its description implies that it will provide similar functionality.
One catch, the version of the rawprint distribution I have only includes files to be used with VFP 3 and 5.
I don't know for sure, but I think the file is available here (anyone know how to get it, we have had it for a while so I don't know where we got it from).
Because of these two drawbacks, you might want to try the VCX, but having never used it, I can't speak for it.
I know this doesn't answer your original question, but it might save you having to convert them.
HTH
Bill
