A guide in the Len Dorfman Practical Programming Series, this book/disk package offers an easy way to write Paradox database programs in C++. A no-frills tutorial approach, supported by lots of fully documented source code, provides a solid foundation for any C++ programmer to create quality Paradox business applications. First, the book introduces the Paradox Engine, a powerful C++ programming tool with straight-in access to Paradox tables, before serving up a series of plug-in C++ class libraries designed to enhance the power and performance of Paradox programmes. Then the authors demonstrate how to create C++ classes, covering validity checking, referential integrity, search algorithms, queries and more.

A guide to writing multiuser business applications with Turbo Pascal and ObjectWindows, this pack shows how to construct a complete user interface with ObjectWindows. The disk contains Pascal libraries that extend the power and functionality of the Paradox Engine. This pack demonstrates how to fine-tune the Paradox Engine to handle any business application with the help of performance-boosting Pascal routines. Full code for application developer libraries is presented and included ready to run on disk.
