I'm sorry, but I can't stand to see another unqualified recommendation for SQR.
SQR is an OK product in it's own right, but it is not a replacement for ReportWriter 2.0 (or 1.1?) -
it does not and probably never will support device independent glitz (ie fonts, graphics, etc) without
much pain. Besides which, since it was purchased by SYBASE (!) Oracle sites have gotten dumped
on as far as support and updates!!! One site was told that they couldn't get updates to their EZ-SQR
on the DG AViiON, VMS sites were sold to some company called MITI to get their support and
updates - and from first hand experience - which is like no support at all!
So, if it does what you need, on your platform, and you don't expect a lot from their support, and maybe
never get any updates - then fine!
I've said enough!
