We are using w4gl from ingres on an HP 9000 series.  We started
development on VAX/VMS 5.3 but moved to HP-UX when w4gl came available.
Respond via e-mail if you want to talk further.

We are using JetForm.  It is a software package that allows you to
design forms and labels on a 386 graphics PC.  JetForm then provides an
executable merge program that runs on your host machine (HP 9000 in our
case).  The merge program takes data in flat files and merges it with
the form you designed on the PC.  JetForm can designate different trays
for the form on your laser printer.  

Since JetForm needs a flat-file of data, you can write a C procedure to
do the extraction from your database and then call JetForm - piece of
cake.
