I'm sure this has been asked before, but...

I'm looking for some good report formatting/generating software.  This
software will act on an ascii file that contains data that I define
the format of.  I would like to be able to format it on a page any way
I wish.  My immediate plans are to use it to generate address labels.
However, I'd like it to be more versatle than that.  I'd like to have
a lot of control on how the data is placed on the page.  I'd like to
be able to create forms, in which data can be placed, etc...

I'm sure that there are some apps. that have been written just for
this purpose, and interface with HyperCard well.  What programs are
available for this, Public Domain, ShareWare and Retail?

Thanks in advance,

Bob Joslin
