Well, I recall seeing some mention of VROOM in the Paradox docs, but I don't think they said much more then you already know; ie. it's an overlay manager of some kind. On the other hand, you can ask Borland directly about this by contacting Larry Kraft on CIS at 76703.764@compuserve.com. This is the official connect point for Borland information and tech. support from usenet. On a related note, Borland has just released the 'Paradox Engine' which is a C library that allows easy integration of C applications with Paradox--or so it is claimed. A tp version is claimed to be on the way too. Hope this helps. -tom ps My only realtionship with Borland is as a customer, just in case that's important to you. -- =============================================================================== webb@uhccux.uhcc.Hawaii.edu "The first duty in life is to assume a pose.
