Solution-IV Reprographics®
Version 8.51P Release Notice

Introduction:
Solution-IV Reprographics 8.45P was released January 31, 2003. This document explains the modifications and enhancements that were made to Solution-IV Reprographics between versions 8.45P and 8.51P.

The primary purpose for this release is to provide you with a version of Solution-IV Accounting that runs on Thoroughbred's latest product platforms.

FormsCreator™
FormsCreator is a powerful, cost-effective form design and document delivery system, based on the industry standard Crystal Reports and VSI*FAX products, that enables organizations to deliver complex business documents according to their needs.

Now your core accounting and Point of Sale applications running on Windows, UNIX and OpenVMS can deliver laser quality orders, invoices, purchase orders and customer statements directly to a laser printer, fax output or e-mail system.

FormsCreator eliminates the need for expensive pre-printed forms, their management and warehousing, as well as the hassles associated with manual form loading, separation and splitting. Instead, a variety of forms can be selectively printed, faxed, or e-mailed as the demand arises. Even the number of copies to print is a setup parameter for each form.
