[DUG] Reporting experience

[Todd Martin]

Hi Gary

Report Builder works well. The biggest problem I discovered was setting
up non-standard data pipes mainly due to lack of documentation. I had to
look though their source code to figure out which methods to override
etc. I didn't have to deal with internationalization, so I can't comment
on that.

They have some really nice scripting features built in to the reporting
engine and printing to multiple formats (PDF, HTML, RTF etc) is easy.

Cheers,
Todd.
