RZBERAT1@DKNKURZ1.BITNET (Dierk Lucyga) (01/16/90)

Is anybody out there using Paradox? Is a network version available?
Anything special to be aware of?



                            Any hint is kindly appreciated

The new version of Paradox (3) is network aware--you don't need a special
network version. We have it installed on a network here. The installation
instructions were a bit confusing but not insurmountable. When you buy it,  you
specify how many users will be using it simultaneously. For each user, Borland
sends you a serial number which gets put into an authorization database.
Paradox handles its own access, and won't allow more users that you have
authorizations for. Adding more users is easy: Borland sends you more serial
numbers and you plug them into the database.

One of our professors asked that we put Paradox on the network for him.
There is a network version, which seems to be running fine on our
Netware 2.15, though we just use it for teaching a class, and don't
store the student db files on the network.
