I had to use DevExpress once on a software development contract (corporate IT diktakt), the generated code was diabolical, but that's the nature of them beasts. Goodness that was a long time ago - 2003ish

Added : Actually maybe not so long - memory is funny, that job seems long, long ago, yet my work at Xerox 20 years earlier than that often seems like last year.

The thing is, Red--just like my kerfuffled brain before, NONE of that makes sense for this guy. He worked for one of the boroughs in NYC, until retirement. He's patently unknowledgeable about eBooks, and anything tech. He still has a yahoo.com email address. Both the expense, and the arcane part of it, just don't jive with this client.

It's got to be the back end for some automagic conversion via a browser. I can't see anything else that makes any sense. OR, some freebie download for automagic conversion.

Thanks VERY much for the info.

Hmph.
