To All:

Thanks for your interest in ReportPro our new shareware report writer.  We
hope that you will find it as useful as we have.

ReportPro was initially developed to allow end users to create their own
reports in our vertical applications.  To date, the internals of ReportPro
have been used in three vertical applications.  ReportPro has evolved into
an extremely powerful reporting tool and we have decided to offer it as a
stand alone product.

Here are some the features ReportPro supports:

1.  Complex relationships, supports one to many to many relationships etc.

2.  Foreign Field Sorts and Groupings, creates reports sorted and/or
    grouped by fields in child databases.

3.  Multi-level grouping, supports 3 levels of grouping.

4.  11 band types: title band, page header band, group header and footer
    bands, page footer band and summary band.

5.  Easily create reports using: text objects, line draw objects and field
    objects.  The field objects can consist of expressions.

6.  User definable variables, create variables for use in calculations or
    for storing information that is to be used later in the report.

7.  Print results to printer, screen or ASCII file.

8.  Support for over 100 printers.

9.  On-line help system.

As an added bonus, when you register ReportPro, we will send you a free copy
of QueryPro, our relational query-by-example program.  This utility is
great for extracting information from databases.  For information on how
to register, assess ReportPro's help system (F1) from ReportPro's main
menu.

Thanks for your time and Happy Reporting.
