I've seen that before. It looks like a good option if starting from scratch, but ages ago I wrote my own library to facilitate pdf creation based on pdflib -- mine's more compact and rather idiosyncratic. It's not easy to convert from one to the other, and I've got a lot of stuff I need to run asap. So far, I've managed to find and install PDFlib Lite (5.0.4p1), and that's working fine -- now I'm trying to get the "pear install pdflib" command to work, but that's failing for different reasons (can't find the "configure" file). I've got a message out to the PECL package maintainers humbly asking for advice there. I'll post an update when I learn more, but I'll keep it brief, as I realize this is drifting out of the openbsd arena. Still, hopefully it'll be useful to others who also want to know how to get around the missing openbsd package. (...and I think I'll start migrating over to fpdf for new projects ;-) Cheers, Alex [EMAIL PROTECTED]
