Subject: Re: PPR: Banner Pages

Hi David,

First, let me thank you for writing such a great package - we're looking
to PPR to solve a few important problems here at the University of
Denver. We've implemented PPR 1.40 and its accounting features with
Samba on Digital Unix and, now that everything is working, would like to
change the way the banner/trailer pages look, what information they
report to the user, and add an additional message to the bottom of the
page.

Is there a better way to do this than edit pprdrv_flags.c?

Thank you for your help,

- -adam
