Follow-up Comment #1:

Hi Tim -- thanks for submitting gurgle.  I approved the project, it should be
fully active within a few hours.

Please add copyright headers to all the non-trivial files, including (for
example) Makefile.am.

You may want to update the common support files, such as depcomp, mdate-sh,
missing, texinfo.tex, install-sh, INSTALL, etc., from the current versions,
which you can get from the gnulib project on savannah
(http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib).  Gnulib can do much more than that,
too, but it's not necessary to dive in deeply; you can just copy those common
files if you like.  (Feel free to email me if you want to discuss.)  Also,
shouldn't the distribution include config.guess and config.sub?

Thanks again,
Karl

 Description: 
The GURGLE program reads record and field information from a dBase3+ file,
delimited ascii text file or from an SQL query to a RDBMS and produces a
report listing. Although the program was originally designed to produce
TeX/LaTeX formatted output, plain ascii text, troff, PostScript, HTML, XML,
shell scripts or any other kind of ascii based output format can be produced
just as easily.

The program is ideal for generating large bodies of text where small parts of
that text are substituted with information from a database. So its great for
generating mainly static web pages which have small amounts of dynamic
content.

The formatting process of is controlled by a definition file which holds the
report, page, and record layouts, what fields to display, and where. Other
useful functions supported in the definition file include sorting, filtering,
and data manipulation of records in the databases.
