- I would appreciate any one who has had experience
- With FoxProx (2.0) and Paradox (3.5) answering some questions
- for me. My company is researching both Database products.
-
- 1) In FoxPro is it possible to call an external 'C' function
- from inside the FoxPro code? Does it have to be a Whatcom C routine?
- and how do you do it?
-
- 2) Does FoxPro have complex string functions similair to Paradox?
-
-
- 3) In FoxPro documentation it seems fairly easy to create screens and
- menus. I can't see anywhere in Paradox documentation how one would
- create a screen ( not a form) and if you have a way could you please
- give a straight forward example..?
-
- 4) What are the pros and cons of one database package over another?
- I mean when one gets into the nitty gritty development, which one
- is better? and faster to develop in...
-
- Thank you for your answers in advance. WE don't have a direct
- internet connection... if you don't want to respond to the mail
- system i am
