A few years back I took a look at reporting tool options for U2. I'm
thinking of doing that again, possibly broadening the scope to all MV
platforms. I can think of mvQuery, Entrinsik Informer, MITS, Sierra
Bravo, and Visage' (is the reporting tool ever licensed separately?).
What else is out there for U2? What do people use with jBASE,
Revelation, D3? Are there any such tools that work with OpenQM?

Thanks for any help getting an initial list. If you would be willing
to chat with me by phone or e-mail about what you know about any of
these products, let me know that too.

And, while you're at it, could you also explain (briefly and without
worrying about pro/con on-going never-ending arguments - at least from
me) why you chose to write/implement/use such a reporting
tool?........

Just to be clear, are you asking folks why they woud choose any such
tool rather than either writing their own similar tool or using only
the mv query language for end-user reporting? Would this be along the
same lines as asking why anyone ever buys software?

I'm just a little confused, so please give more hints about your
interests. thanks. --dawn
