Absolutely LOVED Paradox — especially in DOS. Access is fun, but Paradox made more sense (to me).
DOS WP was best, too. Sadly, when WP went the way of Windows, it lost some functionality. I have some version (6 I think), but never use it any more. I loved that you could use WP tables as a spreadsheet and do math in it.
Since I retired 17 years ago, I don’t worry too much about any of it.
Learned how to program (well script) with DOS PAL and later when paradox 5 (think that was the version) started to do actual programming with Objectpal. When I took programming classes for college degrees, I would often work out the logic in Objectpal of what I needed to do and then replicate in whichever language I was studying at the time. There was nothing I couldn’t do with Objectpal. Writing query results and data manipulation straight to memory with TCursors instead of read/writing to tables just made things so munch faster.
