Come on. If you don't know what the product is, don't reply - just like you
wouldn't have if the OP had asked about a compiler for a language you'd
never heard of.

FWIW, Crystal Reports is a GUI report designer/generator for use with
databases that can be used as a scriptable COM object. There's no GUI
equivalent for Linux (well, none I'm aware of, and none on rpmfind.net).
However, there's a lot of perl code, at least, that you could adapt to write
reports in HTML format.

The Op could have done at least a quik search like:

http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=soft&exact=1&words=crys...

Is it to complicated to use a search engine today?

Thanks for the link.  I am looking for replacement for Crystal Report too.
Unfortunately,  the development status indicates that project is still in the
planning  stage.  It may be a while before the first release is available.
