- ReportWorks Component, Version 1.0
-
-
- Introduction
- ------------
- The ReportWorks component is designed to provide fast, simple, hassle-free
- reporting. Reports can be previewed, printed to the printer or printed to
- a file. Columns can be established in the form of tabs with left, right
- and center justification. Lines, or rows, can be shaded, if so desired.
- On-line ReportWorks help files are included.
-
- Output can be printed with or without linefeed, left right or center
- justified. Large strings, longer than 255 characters, can be output with
- automatic word-wrap within the established page margins. Graphics
- functionality is available, and bitmaps, icons and metafiles can be
- imported to the report page.
-
- This is the first release of ReportWorks. This shareware version will run
- only while Delphi is running. If Delphi is not running, you application will
- terminate while loading. Other than that, it is a full featured functioning
- version.
-
- ReportWorks was formerly called QuickReport but someone else beat me to
- that name.
-
