Actually, I was surprised recently when I used File/Admin/forms_doc in Dev2k 1.3. Without using Oracle*Report, it quickly produced a .TXT file in my working directory that has a format similar to the old SQL*Forms .INP file. Readable, but verbose. Much better than the .FMT format, though, and the form does not need to be stored in the database.
