Hallo Allan,

No, OS/2 will runs by himself, it need's no DOS. But it
includes MS-DOS and WINDOWS to give these programs a
change to runs in OS/2.
 AW> Borland said once 'we will fully support PDOX DOS versions, and

                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^ =8-)

The price of Paradox/DOS here is at DM 900,-- , Paradox/WIN 4.5
Standard by DM 350,-- . The new version /WIN 5.0 offered by DM 1000,--
The higher price for the DOS-version is an part of price policy and
for DOS the competition is'n to big.

Yes, Access has about 70-80 % domination of the market here in
Germany. But the bigger facturies think more and more, that
Access is only a toy.
Our German 'telephone-communication-facturie' called TELECOM has
an purcase decision to Paradox and against Access. They
buy about 50.000 lizens this year.

I think, it meens "Jemand auf die Zehen (Fuesse) treten".
Ja, ich hoffe, dass ich hier in der internationale
Paradox-Area meine englischen und amerikanisch Sprachkenntnisse
verbessern und ueben kann.
