Hopefully the customer is pragmatic and think "what       ever get's the job done" but more likely he will think "That's what to be       expected when using this obscure software called Paradox, better switch to       Microsoft before it's too late.", right or wrong, but quite understandable.              Anders              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
