Good night, good at least here in Brazil, I wonder if anyone is
interested in helping me to convert a palette of components called
report very strong here in Brazil used to generate reports palette is
a complete and very well used in delphi. I know that there is
LazReport it is always good to have more than one option. As the limit
for attachments is 128KB, I am dividing into two posts ... the

I have merged your 3 topics into 1. Please don't create 3 topics
instead of 3 messages next time.

Are you sure it is legal to post this source here?
I can't see any downloadable source versions here:

Theo, good point. I'm in doubt if publishing this source is legal.
Untill proven, I've removed the sources.
Andrejsilva: What is the status of this source ? If they are not free
to distribute, please find another way to send them to ppl willing to
help.

So staff have checked and the sources are OpenSource, I think it would
be nice to have another option to generate reports, if anyone is
interested we can try to carry it.

Hi, i have some experience in porting Delphi components and recently
i'm very interested in report generators.

Some questions:
 1) You are the maintainer of the fortesreports sourceforge (SF)
project?
 2) The project in SF is active?
 3) Do you plan to share the code between Lazarus and Delphi? If so
the task will be harder

I did not looked at the code but one aspect can make it easier or
harder to port: the report designer is integrated into the IDE
designer. If it's using some Delphi specific feature things may become
difficult otherwise it's a good point
