My company is in dire need of a user friendly reporting system that can
read the Btrieve file format.

Here's a little background detail.  We are using the Macola Progression
manufacturing, distribution and accounting system running on a Novell
Netware 3.12 network.

Macola is an MS-DOS program that uses the Btrieve 6.0 database file
format.  Every workstation in our company is running MS Windows 3.1.  

My users are frustrated because they cannot quickly create their own
reports from the system.  

The ultimate solution would be a Windows based program that provided 
views that are understandable to users who have no database knowledge.

We are looking at IQ Software's Intelligent Query version 5 for Windows,
but it is expensive.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
