Target Development Announces Release 4.0 of ReportPalette for EOF.

LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA - April 17, 1996.  Target Development
announces the 4.0 release of ReportPalette for the Enterprise Objects
Framework.  The ReportPalette is a collection of objects that allow
you to easily add custom report writing features into your EOF
applications.  Unlike traditional report writers that directly
access database tables, the ReportPalette reports on NSDictionary
values from your Enterprise Objects.  EOControllers can be used to
define the hierarchy of the report, and Interface Builder serves
as the medium for page layout.  Using the ReportPalette, keys of
your EO's can be mapped directly to columns or free-form text fields
on the report page.  Images and formatted rich text with imbedded
keys can also be added graphically.  This WYSIWYG reporting is
capable of reproducing custom forms, generating mailing labels and
form letters, and producing on-the-fly hierarchical column-based
and free-form reports.

Other ReportPalette Features:

- Custom Page Sequences; for report cover and trailer pages
- Custom page backgrounds; for page header and footer information
- Automatic Page Layout control at runtime
- Multi-level group headers and footers, including totals
- Column Headers and Footers, with total
- Full support for the Foundation classes, including NSString,
  NSNumber, NSCalendarDate, NSData for RTF(D), and NXImage objects.
- Fully documented API for programmatic customization

The ReportPalette ships with several demo applications and NIBs,
along with install scripts and EOModels for Sybase, Oracle, Informix,
and QuickBase.  The example NIBs can be loaded and run using IB's
'Test Interface' mode!  That's how easy it is!  Example NIBs include
a column based report, form letters, mailing labels, a free-form
report, and a custom healthcare form.

A date licensed version of the palette is available via ftp or
directly from Target Development.   The product is licensed through
May 15 of 1996.  The product includes the Interface Builder palette,
header files, libraries, complete technical documentation, and
various demo applications and NIBS.  The palette retails for $895.00
per developer seat.  No runtime fees apply.  Educational, site, and
source licenses are also available. An OpenStep version of this
product is due to release in beta during Q2 of 1996.
