It's DEFINITELY dead, it died on Jan 19 2000.  The HP project behind that 
(which actually funded Python's Unicode development in late 1999) was
supposed to be ReportLab's first big contract and the relevant
HP department was scrapped and moved to Java just before we started.
The 3 lead developers all quit too.

But I have some other intros to HP I can exploit, not for a few weeks
though.
