Well, it is a bit different and conceptually I could say somewhat wider, aldough includes (fully OOP) standard data report. It si fusion of freehand report scripting, WYSIWIG Page creations, preformatted external content,and of course 'classic' data report as we know it.

It aims twds almost full size document publishing tool, which being built in pure fox gets to have all goodies and flixibility that data-centric aproach can bring to it.

Working name for it is 'Report Sculptor' and basic version (preview/print) will be free for VFP community (those who use VFP9 that is)
(That is why I am 'bugging' Cesar now about GDI+ ... :)) )

At the moment only way to produce output is via commercial PDF library.
(Or excel but limited design wise)
Whole concept was built as result of my 'struggle' with complex reports
and PDF Library :)

We will see how far I can get it with GDI+.
