Is that the actual database, or just a server? I am looking for a nice little database (that can grow into a nice BIG database if it has to
Hmmm, Its both the front end and back end server I think. As I understand WPO2000 uses a unified code base that will run under wine , as well as on windows. Its no longer the modified unix version of WP8. It looks and acts like like its windows counterpart as its running under wine/linux. As to growing into a nive BIG database , I have not tried that yet , as I run a small famoly owned clothing stoe and am looking to use it to prottype some praposed database apps ect.. I cant wait for Delphi on linux. That would be wicked. I Too have realy been wondering if Paradox could be used with a real back end sql database as well but havent gotten any real answers to this yet. I would like to be able to use it with postgress SQL backend. That way when I want to move the client/app to a diffrent front end , all I need to do is recode the application. I ASSUME this IF its using the local interbase server that the above is possible. I am not sure if its only using the plian vanalla Paradox file format , or that it can aslo bet used with a SQL server. This I hope to look into a little further. Like I said , I want to use paradox for prototypeing and for plian generic users to add/edit several databses ect.. I realy dont want them using pgacess , and havent gotten into java/jdbc , nor learned c/c++. I am a little familiar with dbase/clipper and have done a couple databse apps with Delphi which is realy supper , but I cant get windows to stay stable enought with my travel schedual , therefore the move to linux. MAN you set it up and just LEAVE it. ROCK SOLID. That I realy like.
Office 2000 runs throgh wine
, but its very usable an a P150 and 54 meg ram. Not bad at all for running under wine on such low end hardeware under xfce , it was a lot slower under KDE and WAY slower iunder corel/kde. Runs nicely nder suse and xfce. Funny,that. On a M$ system, I couldn't get O2K to load on anything with less than a P200/64MB. Kept getting msg "insufficient resources". Just shows what a superior OS can achieve :-)###
WOW. I have taken all my low end hardware and put linux on them , two P166s a P90 , and the P150 , and have only two dual boot for use with windows , one a p166 the other an AMDK6/350 . Win98 is the end of the road as far as windows is. Linux is ruling now. I set up the P150 just to test the idea of linux , and to see if it could meet my buissines needs , and so far have been shocked how well it runs on low end stuff. I only have two apps now that are M$ dependent so have kept the two dual boot machines. Corel WPO2000 was one app I wanted to check out and compare to applixware which I realy like , and runs beter on the same machine , and can handle a real SQL backend. It runs nicly under the P150/64 meg ram system. Its slow to start , and is a bit slugish , but thats to be expected on that class sytem. Its very usable though under wine. That realy surprised me. Note I use suse and xfce , it ran realy dogisg under corel 1.10 linux and the heavly modified kde . I had to compare them just to put my curiosity to sleep. Suse won out. No memory erros or warning . Just a lot of disk activi=ty at times. Wine/Linux must realy work better than the real M$ windows. Isent that something , a clone thats better than the original.

Afraid I haven't got a 'good' tarball yet from anywhere but freshmeat! Of course, My Mileage May Vary (since I'm a lead-foot hoon from way back!)
