- We're building a medical application that needs to print reports based on
- data in Sybase formatted with horizontal and vertical lines and with
- different fonts. We looked at improv and dataphile and are going to look
- at framemaker as commercial stuff we could send our data to, but none of
- those things look sufficient at this point. We're also looking around at
- sybase report generating tools, SQR being a likely candidate. Again, so
- far these seem limited. How do other folks handle this kind of thing?
- The reports are the main thing this app provides the users, so they need
- to look snazzy. Also, the user's are probably going to keep changing the
- requirements about how the data should be laid out, so we'd like to have a
- method that makes changes easy.

- thanks
