Old DOS applications (which is Windows lingo for everything which isn't a Windows program) must be created with a DOS extender supporting the Dos Protected Mode Interface (DPMI), in order to run in protected mode (Windows programs do it anyway). DPMI is quite new and starts to replace the older VCPI (Virtual Control Program Interface, if I remember correctly). There are already a few programs which support the DPMI (Zortech C/C++, for example), but many programs still are restricted to VCPI (or use their own extender interface). What does the Paradox 3.5 documentation say about it? Wolfgang Strobl #include
