    Leagleese
    =========

    This program is designed to be used as an educational tool. It is
    intended to show examples of porgramming techniques, uses of
    various components and commands in Paradox, and to provide
    examples of menuing systems.

    This program is not intended to be used under Paradox Runtime. Use
    of this program under Paradox Runtime may be a violation of your
    Runtime license agreement.

    This program is intended for use with Paradox for DOS version 4.5
    or higher.



    Installation
    ============

    To install the Paradox for DOS Object Inspector, copy the script
    file INSP.SC to any directory. It is recommended, but not required
    that the Object Inspector be placed in a shared directory such as
    the \PDOX45 directory, or in the user's private directory.


    Considerations
    ==============

    The Paradox for DOS Object Inspector can be used by multiple
    people. There is nothing in this program that will interfere with
    multi user access to data. There is also nothing in this program
    that will interfere with either the structure of a table, or the
    data it contains.

    If you do not have access to the Paradox directory, use your
    private directory. This will limit availability of the Object
    Inspector to you, but will make it globally available to you.

    If others wish to use the Object Inspector they can copy this
    program freely, with no royalties or payments of any kind.


    Adding The Object Inspector PARADOX.ADD
    =======================================

    To add the Object Inspector to your Paradox menu, you will need to
    modify your PARADOX.ADD file (located in the \PDOX45 directory.) Add
    the following lines at the bottom of this file:

    LINE
    UTILITY | Inspect! | Run The Paradox For DOS Object Inspector | INSPST

    Create a script file in the \PDOX45 directory called INSPST with the
    following code:


    ;Inspst.sc

    InDir.a = Directory()
    If Not Isfile(InDir.a + "Insp.sc") Then
       Quit "Cannot find the Object Inspector Script"
    Else
       Play InDir.a+"Insp"
    Endif

    NOTE: If the INSP.SC file is not located in the \PDOX45 directory,
    modify the InDir.a assignment to reflect the directory where it is
    located.


    Generic Install
    ===============

    For a completely generic installation of the Object Inspector, place
    the INSP.SC script in the \PDOX45 directory, and use the following
    code for INSPST.SC :

      SysInfo To Temp.r

      Indir.a = Temp.r["PARADOXEXE"]
      Indir.a = Substr(Indir.a,1,Len(InDir.a)-11)

      If Not Isfile(InDir.a + "Insp.sc") Then
         Quit "Cannot find the Object Inspector Script"
      Endif

      Play InDir.a+"Insp"
