   Undelivered forms and reports (those with .fsl or.rsl extensions) can be   
     opened with earlier versions of PDOXWIN.  When the developer delivers   
   the form (.*dl extension) only the version that the forms were delivered   
   in can open the forms and reports.

   You should do fine with the windows version of Paradox.  If you like   
   Paradox for Windows, stick with it.  The programming language is   
   different than the DOS version, but you can do alot interactively with   
   Paradox without knowing the OPAL programming language.  If you feel more   
   comfortable with Access, then migrate.
