Book excerpt: The cleanest of the new Windows databases, Paradox for Windows was built from the ground up--not as a Windows version of Paradox for DOS. It features graphical tools for creating forms and reports, and a graphical data modeling tool for establishing relations between data tables. The innovative built-in language, ObjectPAL, is object-based and event driven, allowing developers to customize how objects respond to events. Includes hands-on exercises to clarify concepts and build skills for new programmers. Organanized as a reference for advanced users.
