I was thinking that the other day. Maybe you should have worded that differently or used the letters OT: somewhere in the title though.

you need a copy of Paradox, or do you just need to extract the data from some old .db files?

Borland Paradox is no more (they've even stopped developing the BDE - Borland Database Engine), but you should be able to get Paradox with the Corel office suite, since that's who they sold it to.

Getting the data out is normally quite easy, and doesn't require the orginal software.

Hopefully it's dead. It was awful.

[Jeremy Collins]

Yup, but there's still a lot of data out there stored in that format. (Including data that's been repeatedly corrupted and repaired thanks to using Paradox as a network database ;-)

On the subject of old software and machines I stumled across this, and I thought I spent too much time arsing around with projects that weren't quite in the "sane" arena!
