Short Description
First article in a new series for helping you web-enable your corporate print data.

Long Description
In this monthly series P.C. McGrew and W.D. McDaniel help you web-enable your corporate print data. Whether you are starting from 30 year-old COBOL-generated billing applications or print generated by 5 year-old vendor-supported programs, we can help you understand the ramifications of getting to the web. For the past 25 years McGrew and McDaniel have worked in mainframe and network environments, transforming high-speed print datastreams like IBM's AFP and Xerox DJDE and Metacode for use with network printers, PDF-enabled applications, and the web. We can explain why the fonts and graphics fail to behave, why funny characters turn up in your data, and even how to fix it all! We'll even take questions!

In the first episode we start with the Steps to a Successful Marriage between Legacy Data and the Web. In the opening scenes we give you a practical plan for identifying what you are really printing today, and how to lay plans for choosing applications that can move to the web.
