Hello,
Borland was long ago, a mighty big outfit. I used
SideKick when it was a small TSR desktop tool back
about MSDOS 3.0 days.
Then they came out with a utility product called
Dashboard, I bought it and never used it. I, also,
never used Paradox but I jumped on the Borland
bandwagon when they took over dBase from Asthon Tate
and stayed with dBase through 5.5 for Windows.
I used Turbo Pascal all the way through to the Windows
version 5.0 and Borland C++ through version 5.
Delphi 1.0 came along and was said to be the "Visual
Basic Killer," So I bought it and then Delphi 3.0 and
then Delphi 6.0. I am "done" buying Borland
development tools. They are becomming too expensive
and too often.
Years ago, had I have swallowed the "Microsoft-lump-in
my-throat" and jumped to VB and Access, I would be
countless thousands of dollars ahead in income and in
my marketability as an independent programmer.
I never realized it before keying this response but
Turbo Pascal stopped at version 5, dBase for Windows
stopped at version 5 and Borland C++ stopped at
version 5. Borland must be improving because with
Delphi I was able to reach a version 6.
Just my $0.02 worth.
Take care!
