Gestalt Corporation announces the release of the production version of
Scribe.

Scribe is a report generator that can:
 a.. produce reports from one or more relational databases,
 b.. e-mail the reports as PDF attachments or HTML-formatted content,
 c.. publish them over the Web in PDF or HTML format,
 d.. schedule them for periodic execution in the background,
 e.. extract data from the database and export it in an ASCII file,
 f.. traverse reports in a drill-down cascading fashion,
 g.. enforce security based on a user access mask.
Scribe is based on graphical programming concepts, allowing the users to
define the process of:

 a.. retrieving data from the database tables,
 b.. performing the necessary calculations,
 c.. creating pie, bar and line charts, and
 d.. formatting data for printing
- all in the form of an executable graphical flowchart. Printing is done
through WYSIWYG page layout forms (print templates).

In addition to reporting database data, Scribe can also update database
tables by inserting, updating and deleting rows, using graphical flowcharts
with database-editing components.

Scribe is written in 100% Java and can be deployed on Windows and Linux
platforms. Its functionality can be extended by adding custom Java code;
third-party Java applications can run reports programmatically using the
Scribe API library.

The Personal version of Scribe is free.
