*
* REQUEST REPORTSS FROM VMTOOLS
*
*
* Acknowledgement is due to the author of the BURSTAR PACKAGE from
* VMTOOLS. Development of this REPORTER PACKAGE was underway and
* complete for one specific type of report layout. The next phase
* planned was to 'generalise' the mapping routine to enable any report
* layout to be handled. The basic framework of the code for achieving
* this generalised mapping and some other ideas were derived from the
* BURSTAR PACKAGE which was released on VMTOOLS as the second phase of
* REPORTER was being planned. My thanks to William J. Hladik for saving
* me a lot of hard work.
* This REPORTER package is largely compatible in its mapping parameters
* with those of BURSTAR ( no guarantee is given that this will remain the
* case ). A report 'mapped' by one system could be very easily
* transferred to the other.
* It provides many more features than BURSTAR and a much greater level of
* flexibility. The one feature it does lack is the VM service machine
* concept implemented by BURSTAR, but that could be easily implemented by
* the user ( the author has no plan to do that ).
*
* New releases......

* Release 3.14
