Bernard, I am slightly confused.   Are you using TRML2PDF 
from http://openreport.org/?

The PTO feature is REALLY new and we haven't released it in RML
yet, or even in a proper open Source ReportLab Toolkit release.  
Obviously the maintainer of TRML2PDF is watching CVS like
a hawk and announcing our features before we do.  Apart from
my vague discomfort about this piggybacking on our work, it 
creates enormous confusion from a support viewpoint. 	It does
not help that the author of that package has never contacted us
to discuss what he's doing.

We'll try to answer questions on this list about
(a) Platypus from anyone here
(b) RML2PDF (tm) from people who have bought it or are working 
with us in a partner programme.

But we can't try to answer questions about http://openreport.org/,
unless the author of that package gets together with us to work
out some sensible policies.


Best Regards,

Andy Robinson
