I spotted this stuff below on Usenet, and it seemed interesting,
especially the references to other stuff, so I thought I'd share it.

Announcing TclVSrpt v1.0 (Tcl Very Simple Report writer)
========== ======== ==== ==== ==== ====== ====== =======
TclVSrpt is a set of 10 Tcl procedures for easily creating either ASCII
or Postscript(TM) documents from within Tcl applications. TclVSrpt is
written in vanilla Tcl 7.3 / 7.4 / 7.5 commands and requires no C code
extensions or patches to the Tcl interpreter. As a result, TclVSrpt
is suitable for use from any Tcl application environment.
Features:
* Same command interface for ASCII or Postscript documents (simple
switch setting).
* Any paper size, with portrait or landscape orientation.
* Extensive control over margins, page headers, page footers, and
page numbering.
* Unlimited number of text style definitions allowed.
* Left, centered, right, or justified line alignment options.
* Completely configurable tab stops with left, centered, and right
alignment, and absolute or nearest tab styles.
* 11 standard Postscript fonts supported with size, italic, and
bolding controls.
* Inter-line gap (leading) and text wrapping under user control.
* Automatic, unconditional, or conditional page ejection.
* All dimensions and sizings may be given in either points, inches,
or centimeters.
* Output directed to file or printer with multiple copy support.
* TclVSrpt procedures use dashed command line options rather than
positional arguments for ease of use and maintainability.
* Postscript documents conform to Postscript file structuring
rules, and are suitable for use by most Postscript utilities.
* The TclVSrpt User documentation is actually provided as a sample
TclVSrpt application.
TclVSrpt should be approached as mature beta quality software. While
we use TclVSrpt in our production environment, due to the large number
of configuration options available, we can't assume that we have tested
each and every possible combination.
TclVSrpt is part of the TclVS family of Tcl application development
tools. Also of this family are TclVSdb, a Tcl 7.3 / 7.4 / 7.5 multi-user,
multi-table-row-column-list oriented database facility that maps
natively into Tcl array variables and Tcl lists. Another TclVS tool
is TkVSform, a Tk 4.0 forms package for quickly, clearly, consistently,
and tersely defining application user interfaces. These three packages
work well together, but each may be used independently.
