   quote information to share with a customer. It print out detailed
   information about each item in the quote.<BR>

   <LI><FONT SIZE="+1">Summary format only prints detailed
   information about each category, but only lists the description
   and quantity of each item instead of their individual costs. Using
   this format, the customer can see a total value for say

   "Workstations", but will not see the individual price of each
   item.<BR>
