Author New Simberon Reporting Package (Thread 2)

Well after trying to post to the old thread 3 times I have given up
and created this new thread.

Just published a new version of the Simberon Reports package

The current package was used to produce the report shown by the links
below. These images have had their detail reduced by 2/3 and they
still look pretty good. In your browser, you will likely need to zoom
in to see what they really look like. The current package is capable
of producing these fairly easily, but I will publish some changes in
the near future to make it even simpler.

There is now a WIKI page for Simberon Reports. Feels free to update
it with your desires, or even take on implementing a feature.
