1. INSTALLING AND OPENING THE OBJECT CONVERTER
----------------------------------------------

By default, the Object Converter is installed in the
C:\OBJCNVT directory. No Windows group is created. The
Object Converter is a Paradox for Windows form that you use
from within Paradox for Windows.

The directory containing your ODAPI files must be part of
your DOS path. Also, the language drivers used by ODAPI must
be equivalent to the international settings used to create
the Paradox for DOS or ObjectVision form. You set your ODAPI
language drivers by selecting the Options pushbutton in the
ODAPI Configuration Utility (ODAPICFG.EXE).

To open the Object Converter, start Paradox for Windows.
Choose File|Working directory to set your working directory
to C:\OBJCNVT. Then choose File|Open|Form, and open the form
CONVERT.FDL. Refer to the Object Converter Help system for
information on using the Object Converter.


2. KNOWN PROBLEMS
-----------------

- Before converting a form, you must make sure the Snap To
  Grid option is turned off. To do this,
  1. Open any form in the Form Design window.
  2. Uncheck Properties|Snap to Grid
  3. Choose Properties|Form Options|Save Defaults
  4. Close the form
  You can then open CONVERT.FDL and convert your forms.

- The Object Converter assumes you are using the default
  settings in PXTOOLS.FT. If you are using an alternate
  style sheet, or have modified PXTOOLS.FT, you should
  return to the default settings in PXTOOLS.FT before
  converting forms. If you use an alternate style sheet
  while converting, you might encounter conversion errors.

- When converting Paradox DOS forms, keep in mind that
  table properties stored in the .SET file are not
  considered part of the form, and are not converted.

- Lower-ASCII characters are not converted.

- In the Select a Source File dialog box, you cannot select
  aliases that include extended-ASCII characters.

3. DOCUMENTATION CORRECTIONS
----------------------------

The Object Converter is documented in a Help system
accessible from any Help button on any Object Converter
window.
