+
+DataVision is an Open Source reporting tool similar to Crystal Reports. Reports
+can be designed using a drag-and-drop GUI. They may be run, viewed, and printed
+from the application or exported as HTML, XML, PDF, LaTeX2e, DocBook, or tab- or
+comma-delimited text files. The output files produced by LaTeX2e and DocBook can
+in turn be used to produce PDF, text, HTML, PostScript, and more.
+
+DataVision is written in Java and runs almost anywhere. It can generate reports
+from databases or text data files. Any database with an available JDBC driver
+should work: Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Informix, hsqldb, Microsoft Access,
+Progress, and more. Columns read from text files can be separated by any
+character.
+
+Report descriptions are stored as XML files. This means you can not only use the
+DataVision GUI but you may also edit reports using your favorite text editor.
