-
- TP and TC can share BGIs. On the LAN at my last job, we just put
- the latest version in the PUBLIC directory and due to the way
- NetWare handles search drives, they were found automatically.
-
- Never saw any problems with older programs choking on the newer BGI
- files.
-
- Quattro and Paradox use files with the BGI extension that are *not*
- BGI files as far as TP and TC are concerned. They also "know" where
- to find their files.
