Hello  World...

I would like to develop some data base system on a microsoft windows pratform.
Please give me some suggestions on what package is best for this.  I own an old
PC (Zenith 286, 640K).  I will be willing to upgrade my PC or even buy a new one
if necessary.

Thanks a lot.

I've been working on an application using Paradox.  I bought the whole
kit: Paradox, Paradox Engine, and Paradox Runtime.  I need to generate
a DOS version and a windows version of the application.  So it was
with greate excitement that I read in PC Week (this week's issue) that
Borland will be releasing a Windows version of Paradox before the end
of the year.  If you're not in a big hurry, wait for it.  I expect it
will make life alot easier than "raw" windows programming with the
engine.
