Before I got involved with accessibility I had a job where I used
Crystal Reports for data mining and analysis. As arcane as it was then
(2000-2003), I can't imagine it's at all accessible at the user
interface level, nor can I easily imagine its output could be made
accessible, at least not without the use of add-on modules of spells and
potions.

For the record:
I did a little research and talked to some people in house and they had
terrible luck with Crystal Reports and found it to be very inaccessible.

Hope this helps someone else
