We had a similar requirement for a system I'm working on. We settled on generating LaTeX from our Python reporting scripts. That gives us PostScript or PDF, from which we get beautifully printed reports. Easier than generating RTF (one of the options we also considered) and more portable. We can send the output directly to a PostScript aware printer (as opposed to relying on having to drive a proprietary engine to print the RTF). -- Bob Kline mailto:bkline@;rksystems.com http://www.rksystems.com _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs Other options: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/ActivePython
