Unfortunately, we don't run OpenOffice.org *or* pgAdmin on any of our IBM pSeries clusters, so for us, that's a pretty much useless answer. The folks I'm thinking of here *are* material to the matter, as we have actually been trying to get some reasonably material budget put together to come up with a report generation "solution," albeit with a mandate that it can function in X-less environments. The above biases aside, OpenOffice.org has seemed terribly heavyweight any time I have used it for anything database-related. -- "cbbrowne","@","ntlug.org" http://cbbrowne.com/info/sgml.html "Why use Windows, since there is a door?" -- <fachat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Andre Fachat
