We use Monarch from Datawatch (http://www.datawatch.com/ and have
been doing so since about 1993 or so.  We hardly print anything
besides daily exception / task reports, government forms, and cheques
any more. Any of our financial stuff that isn't served by our
internal apache web server (hp3000) is down-loaded direct from the
spool file to the PC's in accounting and viewed through Monarch.

Monarch supports a variety of drill and format commands so that the
end users of reports can make minor changes or filter data to suit
their specific need without having recourse to IT for an "enhancement
/ change".

Regards,
Jim
