RE: [Rlib-users] Page Break Question

[Santhanam <v_s...@am...>]

Thanks Bob & Andrew for your response.
        Our requirement is to have fast & cheap print outs for
reports (Fee Collection Counters etc). PDF Reports are great.
But they have to be printed on Laserjet / Inkjet Printers.They
are slow & costly when compared to Dot Matrix or Line Printer.I
have looked into various reporting tools to fit our requirement.
         JasperReports was a nice one with a number of GUI
Design Tools.But TXT format is not supported. RLIB is a nice
tool which can give PDF,XLS & TXT format.
         I understand that Sicom Systems(RLib's generous sponsor)
is a specialist in Point Of Sale(POS) Systems. I would like to
know how they are printing their receipts.I guess it should be
TXT reports...

Thanks in Advance.
With Regards
Santhanam
