Well, blow me down! It wouldn't even dump ASCII files? Sounds like
Paradox wanted to keep every customer for life. (BTW, did you ever try creating
an text-only report (no formatting and therefore no control codes) that instead
of printing on paper you printed to a file using the "generic text-only
printer" driver? I had to do that a couple of times on an old IBM system.)

That's interesting. Unless one "upgrades" I don't see how one could
lose a program attribute. Which brings up another of the Happy Person's
Computing Rules: Never Upgrade! (aka, If It Ain't Broke.....) Upgrades are the
leading cause of user suicide.
