They are still selling the product, but they are very difficult to contact. If you want to know what it does, I have a copy. If you want a beta tester, I know how to do that.

Well, Richard's arguments make a fair amount of sense, but of course, I can't reasonably assess how much work it would be to port ReportsPro to OS X/Rev. If I remember correctly, you said you know the current owner. What is it Rev can do to assist in this?

OK! I asked the original question. Here it is.
"I have an extensive Hypercard database I would like to move to another environment. It make extensive use of ReportsPro which is a third party report writer. I have several clients who are used to used ReportsPro to design their own reports and queries. Does Revolution have this capability?"
Here is added information. Right now I have 10-12 States on a Hypercard/ReportsPro environment that operate the two as a DBMS very successfully. It is basically a data base that handles line drawings (cattle brands) done in Hypercard and text data that pertains to the owner of the drawing. The drawing are printed in a book about every five years. The rest of the time the managing office checks to make sure the brands are unique. One province in Canada even handles all their financial reports through ReportsPro.
They all need to convert to something else. Hypercard is apparently dead. Most of them have people that are very sharp in writing their own reports at this time. They like the environment provided by ReportsPro are are very comfortable with the product. They are going to need a similar report writer to replace it.
I have extensive experience in DBMS design. I used Hypercard/ReportPro as a prototype tool for years. I am now retired and I still keep one OS9 around just to run Hypercard/ReportPro data bases. I guess I'm a little strange, but I have never found any other product which does the job quite as well.
I hope you can help.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. For the record, I read the list and I sometimes qualify as "someone at RunRev" ;-)
If he wants to email me, I'd be happy to offer any help I can.

Does anyone from RunRev read this list? If so, I'm good friends with the guy who bought the rights to Reports and ReportsPro and he would LOVE to talk to someone at RunRev about making it work with Revolution. Please reply directly to me and I'll pass on your info to him.
