Hi Jim,

What is the feasability of producing the reporting engine for Kylix. I
don't mean any of the visual stuff. I would like to produce reports on
a Linux Server and serve them up to a web client. This to me is the
future for Kylix (at least currently).

Thanks

We're not building anything at this time. You do have a copy of our source,
as a registered user. You certainly could take our source and try to compile
it with Kylix. You can remove DADE, RAP, and the Crosstab source. You
could eliminate talking to the printer or creating the visual environment.
Then try to use only the screen device to generate pdf or html with
TExtraDevices. The problem is, that RB is built for Windows and has many
Windows API calls. You would have to place ifdefs all over the source to
bypass all of the Windows calls, which would not be a quick and easy
solution.
