   So, I gather that there is no quick way to get an overview of a paradox   
   database   
   system, like a diagram of its structure, such as tables, relationships between   
   tables, etc.? I just want to talk intelligently about it during a possible   
   interview that calls for one to migrate a paradox database into an Access   
   database.
