R&R Report Writer Renamed to R&R ReportWorks
Claymont, Delaware (November 1, 2004) – Beginning with the release of the latest edition of its flagship R&R program, scheduled for early December, 2004, Liveware announces that it has changed the name of the software to R&R ReportWorks, from R&R Report Writer
What began in 1986 as a tool to read and generate output from Lotus spreadsheets has evolved 18 years later into a full-featured reporting tool with everything related to creating, managing and deploying relational reports to process any kind of table-driven data. Liveware has decided to make the name change in recognition that R&R is more than for simply writing reports. R&R ReportWorks includes the following primary modules for database reporting:
R&R Report Designer – a.k.a. “R&R Report Writer”, for creation and editing or custom reports from any table-based data.
R&R Runtime – Royalty-free report generation engine, programming utilities and deployment aids, for distribution of R&R reports.
Rapid Runner – Added to R&R in 2001, this end-user utility program provides a front-end application for deployment, batching and scheduling of R&R reports with royalty-free R&R Runtime.
R&R Report Librarian – Added to R&R in 2001, this end-user utility program catalogs and analyzes R&R report formats, and manages the deployment of R&R Report Writer.
R&R Data Dictionary – Completely redesigned with extensive enhancements in 2002, this end-user utility program automatically catalogs the users data tables from where R&R generates reports, and allows users of R&R Report Writers to better understand their data and table structures.
R&R Result Set Browser – Added to R&R in 2000, this end-user utility program provides report-data drill-down and export functions.
R&R Email Bursting – Added to R&R in 2001, this module automatically “bursts” an R&R report output and sends different sections to different recipients via email.
All of the modules listed above, plus several others, are included with the current R&R Report Writer Version 10+. The R&R Report Writer and R&R Runtime modules in R&R ReportWorks Dec 04 edition will carry the “version 11” tag.
Liveware acquired the rights to R&R Report Writer and all related programs from Wall Data, Inc., in September 1999. Since that time Liveware has released four upgrades to the R&R reporting software, with a fifth, major, release set for next month.
Liveware plans
two additional releases in calendar 2005, enhancing various modules of
R&R ReportWorks, and concurrently announces the
R&R Premiere Club. Membership in R&R
Premiere Club entitles participants to automatically receive all R&R upgrades.
