Since spreadsheets were no longer the focus of Borland's business, Quattro Pro was sold to Novell. Since then QPro has gotten pretty good reviews. Borland might be defunct, in the worst case, but Paradox is such a popular product that I think it would be snapped up by the highest bidder. I don't think that the future of Paradox itself is doubtful. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Larry MacNeill larry@crete.hsc.colorado.edu University of Colorado Denver, CO -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
