There's a 3rd party "PAL COMPILER" program highly acclaimed by some, mixed
Reviews by others, called Turbo Pal. It creates 1-3 Meg Executables
(so you'll need some hefty RAM on your older computers). No less than
Dell Computers uses this product (promotional??) in their organization.
Caveat Emptor!

I understand from Richard Clarke that you sell a product that will compile
Paradox (for DOS) PAL scripts. I have a couple of applications that
need to be re-written, or converted to use with the Paradox Engine.
Does your product offer an alternative to these two choices?
If so, I would appreciate any sales literature, system requirements, and/or
programming limitations, so I may carefully consider purchasing your
product.
I did receive a small postcard, with testimonials on it, but also need
system requirements and what library functions, etc, are supported:
(reports, popup, pulldown menus, etc) and what limitations there are.
