I know of no such circumstance which would make this difficult, especially now that we
have accessors for class PAGE_INFO.

Is there more to this than simply reversing the roles of GetWidthMils() and
GetHeightMils() when an internal boolean is set within PAGE_INFO?

If not, I will volunteer to do this, and would expect to have it done within 2 hours.

If more than this, then I may be hesitant to volunteer more.

Embellish my understanding please if it is too primitive.

Thanks,

Dick
