This is a new and improved QBE2Str. The old version used
a DDE link to Notepad. Actually, the old version was kind
of a test program to see what kind of response I'd get
out of it. This new version has far more capabilities and
is now what I consider to be a real tool, not just a bunch
of code that you can build your own translator with. Here
are some of its key features (with the registered version 
you get the source code):

* Copy converted Query String directly to the clipboard.
  There is no longer an intermediate step that dumps the
  string into Notepad. I found this to be just to much
  hassle.

* Choose option of creating a new method in a destination
  file you can select with the file browser.

* Access ANY saved QBE file from your hard disk by setting
  the Alias or specific path. This is also selectable from
  the file browser.

*************************************************************
I've found that the best place to put the file is in your
private directory. That way, no matter what your working 
directory is, you'll be able to access it. The registered
version will add a menu choice to the Tools directory in 
the Paradox main menu, and the program and its constituent
files will be callable through the QBE2Str alias.

Why did I make this Shareware?

Well, I was thinking about using this as another teaching tool.
Now and then, I release utilities that have solved some real
programming issues, but this one was different. When I wrote
QBE2Str and had my programmers use it, I found that their producti-
vity was greatly enhanced because of the time it saved. I knew then
that I was on to something here.

QBE2Str is NOT just a collection of functions in a library to
demonstrate how to employ query string conversion. It is a
fully functioning tool that can be used to enhance your productivity
immediately. I've found that I've been able to cut down about 90% of the
time I spend mucking with Query Strings because of this tool.
I'm sure it will do the same for you once you use it.

So what's the point that I'm trying to make? A lot of work went into
the conceptualization and creation of this program. It's fast, flexible,
and most of all, it does something meaningful. Not just demonstrate
how to do query strings.

By all means, try out the program. If you like it, send me $20.00 (check
or money order) to show your support. It's a small price to pay for
something that enhances your development environment.
