How do I print Graphs from my RDBMS ?

Hi there! I know, I know that I'm not in the "right" group. But then Guru can be extracted even from "wrong" groups. I'm facing this sall task that I need to do. UNable to know how to start. Here is the scenario. BACKGROUND: PROGRESS-RDBMS. I need to provide some Graph printing capabilities to the users. Is it possible by having an interface extablished between my database and a Dos machine supporting Windows-Excel? Will it be possible to stay in unix and execute some command which can invoke the "Windows Excel" / Lotus type of spread sheets . I can create the Data file in my unix envirornment. But then that datafile has to be transferred to the DOS or which ever ENV and invke Excel and print and come back. Ofcourse all this has to be in BATCH mode. With all those diffeent types of S/w exploding in the market I think this should not be a big deal at all. Any help extended i this regard is gretfully appreciated. -Indu -- Indu Shekhar Mudigonda <indu@rahul.net>
