PCT_TOT.ZIP should contain these files:

SOMEDATA.DB & .PX --> a tiny table with 3 records 
PCT_TOT.RSL       --> report which demonstrates "percent of total" 
                      calculation under PFW 5.0

Files were contributed by Ann Lynnworth to Borland Compuserve forum 9/18/94.
And they are free, and may be distributed freely.

The basic discovery is that you can reference a named calculated field
in a calculation, even though that field is in a footer band.  (If you
have been using Paradox for a while, this is a Big Breakthrough!)

The report has further comments which will (hopefully) guide you to a 
more complete understanding of how to do pct-of-total calculations on 
your own.

I did notice that sometimes, for no apparent reason, toggling from
design mode to run mode doesn't work -- it returns to design mode.
Closing the form, and re-opening it, seems to clear this problem. ?

(The report can be opened under 4.5 but won't work correctly.)
