A new module FLASER has now been added to SPINNER that accepts data streams with embedded formatting commands. This allows the application programmer to control document formatting and data content.

With the agreement of Open Seas Ltd we have adopted the Fantasia command syntax as it is a proven command set and will also allows any application migrating from the HP3000 MPE system to retain output that uses Fantasia commands and be processed by SPINNER on UNIX or Windows platforms.
