    We have no plans to build a version at this time.

    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.
