   I don't believe it would be at all realistic to expect (or to even   
   hope that) the Plato developers might modify their expensive package   
   for the benefit of one small school.  It's hard enough just to get   
   effective support from their level 1 and level 2 technicians.   
      
   The school agreed to purchase a copy of WordPerfect Office X3 Student   
   and Teacher for $68.  This includes Paradox (I guess it would be   
   version 11 ?).  Isn't this Paradox for Windows?   
      
   I plan to create some custom reports but I do not want to affect the   
   data in those tables or modify the Plato application in any manner.   
      
   I'm not sure I understood what you were trying to convey to me.  Are   
   you saying that I will not be able to accomplish my goals with the   
   version of Paradox I asked the school to purchase?
