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 ****ting to e.g. .NET. But i must make sure that the
application will continue to run for that timespan.
Ciao, Dirk.
