Hello,

I've been tasked to print a phonebook style directory for an 
organization.  The data will be coming out of a MySQL database and can 
be easily saved as comma-delimited, or whatever text format I need.

My specific question is, what open source tools would one use to tackle 
a project like this?  I'm very comfortable in a CLI and do not 
require/desire a GUI.

Thank you and Happy New Year!

Doug Poland
