Once, a long time ago, I had to create management reports from a mainframe accounting system, built in-house by someone long since retired. The only way to extract data was to capture a print file and then use an application called Monarch. I seem to recall that came on >20 floppies. I used Crystal Reports a lot, and that had a similar number or perhaps more.
