ReportWorks Component, Version 1.0                             


Introduction
------------
The ReportWorks component is designed to provide fast, simple, hassle-free
reporting. Reports can be previewed, printed to the printer or printed to
a file. Columns can be established in the form of tabs with left, right 
and center justification. Lines, or rows, can be shaded, if so desired.
On-line ReportWorks help files are included.

Output can be printed with or without linefeed, left right or center
justified. Large strings, longer than 255 characters, can be output with 
automatic word-wrap within the established page margins. Graphics 
functionality is available, and bitmaps, icons and metafiles can be
imported to the report page.

This is the first release of ReportWorks. This shareware version will run
only while Delphi is running. If Delphi is not running, you application will
terminate while loading. Other than that, it is a full featured functioning
version.

ReportWorks was formerly called QuickReport but someone else beat me to 
that name.

With the registered version you will also receive the full source code. This
