   Hi Steve,   
      
   i think you are right. In the moment i am just checking the options to make   
   offers to my customer. If i can keep it on paradox for 10 more years i will   
   save him the money for porting to e.g. .NET. But i must make sure that the   
   application will continue to run for that timespan.   
      
   Ciao, Dirk.
