PXCDROM.TXT
===========

The PXCDROM.OBJ file provides a method of accessing tables on read-only
media with versions 3.0x of the Borland DOS Paradox Engine ( PXENGTCL.LIB ).

Setting up the read-only table ( note that standalone Paradox is required ):

    1) Create a table using either Paradox or the Paradox Engine.
    2) Use Paradox to place a Directory Lock in the directory containing
       the table.
    3) Place the PXCDROM.OBJ module in the applications project file
       or makefile before the paradox engine library.
    4) Make certain that the Paradox Engine is initialized in a sharing
       mode for the directory being access ( LOCALSHARE for local tables,
       NETSHARE for network tables ).

This is _not_ an "official" or tested fix to the Paradox Engine. This
file contains a possible workaround which we have provided as a service
to those who have been requesting that the Paradox Engine support
read-only media. While this workaround is not explicitly supported,
questions and comments can be directed to BDEVTOOLS, section 3.

Note that this file now contains the latest build of PXCDROM.OBJ from
10-15-93, which resolves a problem with the origional version on CD-ROM
drives.
