The reporting facilities are bad ... real bad. They were intending to use a package called Relational Report Writer to produce reports. Unfortunately, it can open a maximum 10 files/databases at one time. For the reports that they require. This is not sufficient. With DOS 3.3 and higher you can open as many files as you like, the only restriction being available memory.
