FastReport VCL
--------------
FastReport VCL is reporting tool component for Borland Delphi 2-6 and 
Borland C++Builder 3-5. It consists of report engine, designer and 
preview. Some FastReport possibilities are really unique. The generator 
allows you to create tables, queries and databases in run-time. Built-in 
dialog designer allows you creation of dialog forms (they can be used for 
asking some parameters before printing a report). You also able to use 
built-in Pascal-like interpreter to do rather complex data processing. 
In spite of power of FastReport, its code is quite small. Probably 
FastReport is leader in correlation of functionality/size. The FastReport 
kernel (without designer) adds to your program the small footprint (less 
than QR3), but its functionality is like in ReportBuilder's one.
