Hi Pat,
Yes, we have long been aware of the problem but can't seem to find a way around
the need for the precise formatting required. I will refer this to the SCA for
consideration, maybe there is something or someone out there that can create a form
that can be filled in, transmitted to LC and then printed out here in the correct
format (without extra handling in the Coop Team), etc.
