[comp.databases] Paradox report generator and editor

scherer@oasys.dt.navy.mil (Doug Scherer) (04/08/91)

 I am using version 3.0 of paradox.  I am looking for an editor that works with
 PAl but better than the intergrated one.

 Also does anyone know of a report generator program that works with paradox
 that will let you use different fonts and line draw.

 Any help would be appreciated

Look at dbPublisher from Digital Compostion Systems, for a report generator,  
(800) 527-2506.  For a link in editor I use Pal-Edit from Kallista, Inc.
(312) 663-0101.  Another link in editor you might want to look at is 
PlayRight Pro, The Burgiss Group, (800) 262-8069.

TPE 2.0 by Turbo Power Software is the one I use.  It is versatile and
easy to
configure.
 
When you install it on your hard disk, you are given a menu of all the
available commands, and you can select the keystroke that will activate
each
command.  Defaults are the well-known Wordstar emulation, e.g. Ctrl-QA
for
search and replace, Ctrl-KB to mark beginning of block, etc etc.  Can
have
about half a dozen files in the ring, either full screen or in separate
windows.  Very easy to move and copy text within a file or between
files. Wide
choice of screen color combinations.  All in all, a very nice editor for
any
kind of textfile.
 
And here's the best part--the author gives it away free!  Just look for
TPE20.ZIP on your friendly neighborhood bulletin board.
