Paradox (and most protected mode programs) WON'T run under windows in
protected mode.  HOWEVER, I experimented just a little bit and found
that if you first customize Paradox to run in REAL mode or use the
-real command line option, then when Paradox starts up, W3 complains
about a Protected mode application.  However, it DOES create an icon
for it!  So if you maximize the icon, Paradox RUNS FINE!  At least,
the testing I've done has run fine.  Curious, eh?
