Hi Dean,

I'll make sure I cover myself on that one.
Thanks,

>>>Hi Carl.
>>>In addition to what Mark has say already (Mark has helped me alot with this too), I would add that when I don't use OPOS, it seems sometimes I run into data overflow problem with my receipt printers. That is after about 65 lines of text, the printing stops. But there is a work around for that.
