FWIW, we have been using a Paradox DOS ap I wrote in 92-93 (4.0) and
have not had a single corrupted file. Multi-user, 300+ files,
roughly 20mb of data, and many thousand records.
Don't credit my PAL programming. I'm barely passed the novice
stage. I think I would give credit to reliable software and
attention to small details, i.e. exit the ap properly, users
cautioned against rapid shutdowns, etc. If there's one thing I
*can* say, all the workstation users are relatively computer
illiterate so they're teachable and listen to instruction in
that regard.
Also, since there have been several power failures during that
period, the UPS must be doin' its think OK too.
Of course, now that I've said these things........
