If you take a look at the Files area section here at UT, you'll find a few utilities that may help you. There is first the frx2word utility, wich transforms a frx file to either a word document or to html, although it's not exactly wysiwyg compared to the original report file.
OTOH, i have an application that must send a report through email, and here is what i do:
i use a fax program printer driver ( in my case, i use Zetafax ). You just then set this as the output printer: SET PRINTER to NAME "Zetafax Printer".
Then, you issue a report form reportname to file filename.
This creates the file: "filename.txt". Rename this file to "filename.tif", and voila! You have a tif file that is viewed by windows by default with the kodak image viewer ( kodakprv.exe in C:\WINDOWS directory ). The weight of the file is about 40-50k per A4 page.
