Message-ID: <18226@netcom.UUCP> Date: 6 Dec 90 18:23:09 GMT References: <11984@sybase.sybase.com> <18070@netcom.UUCP> Organization: UESPA Lines: 25 Here's a followup on the little weirdnesses of VROOM. Earlier I noted how Paradox 3.5 issued various dire error messages if it got in trouble trying to use extended memory, such as an incompatible expanded memory manager. You can get rid of these messages by telling Paradox not to use extended memory, but Paradox seems to function OK whether you do or not. Recently, I started useing Windows 3.0. Here's what happens if you run Paradox 3.5 under Windows 3.0: the window minimizes and Windows acerbically reminds you that protected mode programs can't run in Windows' Enhanced Mode. This happens even if Paradox has been configured as I described, which ought to prevent it from going into protected mode. However, if you expand Paradox's icon, you'll find it running quite happily. I wonder if Quatro users have seen a similar problem? There must be some running Quatro under Windows 3.0, assuming anybody's actually purchased DAK's famous 386/software bundle. -- ergo@netcom.uucp Isaac Rabinovitch netcom!ergo@apple.com Silicon Valley, CA {apple,amdahl,claris}!netcom!ergo THIS STATEMENT IS VERIFIABLY, IRREFUTABLY TRUE!
