Reporting is done in a two phase process. In the first phase the SQL statements and equations are excuted.The second phase handles all the formatting and layout. While reports are normally printed, we developed a number of different ways which report are generated.There are three main reporting output engines, a latex, ANSI and HTML version. Your reports do not need to be modified between output versions, so you can export to different media without problems.The latex version is normally used for generating PDF and PostScript reports and is bet suited for paper printed reports. HTML is designed for the reports for the web, which can be a powerful addition to any large web application. The ANSI was designed for line printers but is also useful in unix for piping.What's New in This Release:· A complete port for Windows has been written.· The build process has been changed from automake to scons.· Serval minor improvements to papyrus_gui were made.
