• @riadne Software and their excellent CoolSpools400 spooled file conversion tool. It's a commercial product but reasonably priced and comes with a big array of functions. The home page is www.ariadnesoftware.co.uk and I've put together a mini review. Now at version 5 and even better value for money. We use their Communique email software as well; great stuff.
