   I expect that the one which prevents registry writes could be used with   
   the pdoxwin.ini related command line options to read and write options   
   to an ini file rather than the registry.  This would be useful in a   
   situation where users can't write to the registry but can change the   
   Paradox settings.  Otherwise, it could be used alone and changes to   
   settings would either not be allowed or would be for the session only -   
   you'd have to test it to see.   
      
   I don't know what the point of the force registry writes one would be   
   other than to ensure changes which are normally written to the registry   
   get written - but that's the default, so this one might be like -t   
   option (allows resizing of Paradox window - that's the default, so   
   what's the point in the command-line option?).   
      
   I'm just guessing, never used them.
