one procedure ;-) and not even a good one... and this mail wasn't meeant to be

100% agreed - i only use it since our app's printing demands are rather
limited (just some labels, almost no reports) and therefore i like qr
because its very small - and i can do it all in the IDE.

agree again - the most important thing imho when using qr is that you know
roughly what you should *not* do :-) then you can live with it...
