I had to save up to pay for FastReports and that was difficult enough -
time does not 'cost' anything ;)

Not sure that will solve the problems with FastReport3, but an inbuilt
method to access Firebird would be nice. I will have to have a rethink
on what to do about this. My Tikipro PHP stuff has a nice pdf generator
and a lot of the reports are already displayed directly in html pages -
somewhat better than FastReports is currently achieving - so cut my
losses and do something else seems to be the best option at present :(
