[Gambas-user] Printing Support

[Pablo Vera]

I developed a Report Generator in VB, that gave the final user of any 
application using the generator, the ability to modifiy the reports.  I 
am not promising anything, but I will dedicate some time to port it to 
gambas.  If I succeed, I will let you know.

Saludos,
Pablo Vera
