How about

	generate_raw_data | awk 'prog to manipulate data' |
		awk 'turn data into tbl/MS macros' |
		tbl |
		ms2html > report.ps

admittedly ms2html is Plan9 specific (uses libc/bio not stdio).

Can anyone suggest open source/freeware/GPL tools that convert HTML
to postscript?  I'm looking for something that's a modern tbl/nroff
equivalent for simple reporting needs, even in a Unix type environment.
E.g.,

	generate_raw_data | awk 'prog to manipulate data' |
		awk 'turn data in simple HMTL' |
		magic_program_here > report.ps

Thanks,

Arnold Robbins
