Re: Recursive printing letters using Letters module...

[Jaroslav Hajtmar <hajtmar@gyza.cz>]

Hello, Wolfgang,
thanked for alternative solutions. While saying that the use of the 
buffers is not possible, but even though you do not seem to really work 
with my scancsv.lua library, and even very good! With the help of my 
library and your letter module I can print dozens of similar letters 
which differ only certain data. Thanks for your letter module - very 
helps me

Jaroslav
