MW->Specific background to my question: In a bookstore the other day, I
MW->saw a copy of "ABC's of Paradox 4.0" for $6. The price is right, but I
MW->wouldn't want to buy a book that would have little relevance to this
MW->version.
MW->My question: how different are Paradox 3.5 and 4.0?  If they're
MW->generally pretty close, I can be pretty sure the book's worth buying.
MW->(Maybe someone who has used Paradox 3.5 and HAS "ABC's of..4.0" could
MW->comment?)
Difference: 80-85% the 'same' but it's not a 'linear' or fair comparison.
You will learn, but you will be frustrated in some of missing improvements
of the last DOS version 4.5.
MW->My effort to save time and bandwidth from unwanted advice: I have no
what advice would you like..? You can get any advice you want:
 caveat emptor!
MW->money to upgrade to the current version of Paradox, WIN or DOS. I will
MW->use this version or none at all. So please don't advise me to do so.
MW->My gratitude: Thanks for your help!
Well you've got something in hand, that you haven't tried, and are
asking advice on how hard it is....?  Obviously too hard since:
MW->...I haven't tried it out yet, but intend to soon.
So why consider a book before loading and trying if your money's
too tight for a $100 upgrade, why waste $29.95 for a good book you
may not even use?
The Paradox manual has a reference guide AND examples.  Use that as
your tutorial on your loaded software before you buy a book.
