+ GNUe Reports: A tool of the GNUe Project (www.gnue.org)
  
! Introduction
! ------------
! GNUe Reports is a data transformation and output tool. At its most basic
! level, GNUe Reports transforms database data into arbitrarily complex XML.
! This XML can then be transformed into whatever format desired.
! 
! GNUe Reports can output this XML directly to a file (for processing by
! another program), or it can process the XML into its final format all from
! the same command. For this extended functionality, GNUe Report implements
! Filter Adapters and Destination Adapters.
! 
! Filter Adapters take the resultant XML and process it in some way.  The
! currently supported Filter Adapters are:
! 
!   * sablotron   Uses Sablotron to perform XSL Transforms.  A "filter"
!                 XSLT script can be created that transforms GNUe Report's
!                 XML output into another XML output (e.g., Abiword's XML,
!                 XHTML, or some form of custom XML) or text output (Plain
!                 Text, CSV, Postscript, etc.)  There are currently examples
!                 for XSLT scripts for HTML, plain text, and CSV formats
!                 (and the beginnings of KSpread and Gnumeric support.)
! 
!   * merge_rtf   This specialized adapter takes a template RTF file and
!                 merges it with GNUe Reports' XML to create a merged RTF
!                 file. The template RTF is a normal RTF file with any fields
!                 denoted as ::field:: (two leading and two trailing colons.)
! 
! Destination Adapters define various output mechanisms for GNUe Reports.
! There are four primary adapter classes, File, Email, Printer, and Fax.
! There are currently adapters for sendfax, bsd lpr, and HylaFax's sendfax.
! It is trivial to add a custom adapter to GNUe Reports specific to your
! setup.
! 
! Given the two adapters, all of the following scenarios are currently
! supported using a single report definition:
! 
!   * Print out a hard copy of a report,
!   * Fax a copy of a report to a client,
!   * Email an HTML version of the report to a coworker,
!   * Save the report as a comma separated (CSV) file to load into
!     your favorite spreadsheet program.
! 
! Of course, any combination is supported, even combinations that make little
! sense (e.g., faxing a CSV version of a report)
! 
! 
! Installation
! ------------
! For installation and configuration instructions, please read the
! file INSTALL.
