   For my two cents worth,  I agree that Borlands Quattro,  is a
far superior product than Lotus  123.  One note to be careful of
is when printing graphics. Lotus does all the work then sends the
image to the printer,  so any timeout is ok.  Quattro,  however,
sends the graphics a bit at a  time  as it generates it.  If you
are using TI=xx make sure the time is sufficiently high else you
bet  banners  and page breaks in the middle of a graphic  print.
Doesn't look  great.  I  have  found  that  a  45 second timeout
prevented the spooler from closing before the next bit of  graph
came along.
