- Michael, et.al.,

- The dearth of Paradox-related "stuff" isn't related the presence or absence
- of a newsgroup, if you and others post Paradox code to simtel-20 I'm sure
- it will get filed there.
-
- As for branches beyond .ibmpc where do you propose the users of the unix
- foxpro (and dBASE I believe) products go ?
-
- I'm beginning to reconsider my anti-split stance however because I'm
- getting to the point of not wanting to read anything that a "specialist"
- has to say. I still think it would be worse for the Paradox users and
- worse for the network as a whole (needless increased traffic) but I think
- I'd benefit if the Paradox-only folks left <g>
-
- Hey in time nobody will post threads anymore they will invent new newsgroups
- every time they have a question to ask;

- comp.databases.paradox.version2.clear-screen.question
