   I wouldn't be holding your breath while you wait for a PAL converter   
   utility.   
      
   All of us who like the "Desktop Database" seem to be in a bit of a   
   conundrum.  Many feel a dire need to migrate away from Paradox for Windows   
   too... no one within these groups however, appear to have found anything   
   that fits the bill.   
      
   Three or four years ago, I would have told you to migrate to Paradox for   
   Windows...  I couldn't give you the that same advice now without feeling I   
   was steering you wrong.   
      
   Not because it isn't capable and flexable enough.... but merely because   
   Microsoft's new OS's are presenting the real possibility of breaking it   
   beyond repair.   
      
   Good luck with searching for a replacement database technology.... The only   
   advice I might give you is to keep your eyes open in the "open source"   
   arena.
