Hello,
first off, you have my deepest sympathy for the situation you're in. I only
know CA Plex from the catalogue ;) I basically do not like and code
generators because it's usually a lot of work to adjust them to your own
needs. I do have a few PP presenations but I am not allowed to pass these on
to other peple. However, I think Sun would be more than happy to help you
out. I had some Sun training and they usually hand out quite a lot of stuff
and they might also help you out with some fancy PP presentations.
Good luck!
Joerg
