If you align Pdox with Delphi then by implication it is less aligned with
Borland's other products - such as Pdox stand alone, C++ etc.
IMO the market dominance of Access (+ MS in general) and its greater
reliability in some respects (particularly in the lack of index corruption)
plus the ability now to access Access very easily through ADO will constrain
further development of Pdox.
This could change if the MS-DOJ situation or other situations result in MS
becoming less dominant - but that may take years and as we have seen already
with Interbase, Netscape and others, people aren't going to sit around waiting
for that to happen (if indeed it ever happens) while their business goes
bankrupt.
