- 1. NOTES ON .DLL FILES
- ----------------------
-
- When developing a Windows application using the Paradox Engine 2.0,
- PXENGWIN.DLL must accompany the application. It is imperative that you
- use the most recent .DLL. DLL's are normally stored in the \WINDOWS
- directory, so you should check this directory for an existing
- PXENGWIN.DLL before installing your Engine application. If there is
- an existing PXENGWIN.DLL, check the date of the file, and be sure to
- use the most recent version of the DLL.
-
- 2. Programming with the Paradox Engine 2.0
- ------------------------------------------
-
- You can use the Turbo C++ 1.0, Borland C++ 2.0, and Turbo Pascal 6.0
- Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to compile your programs.
- For Turbo C++ 1.0 and Borland C++ 2.0, set up a project file as
- described in the C++ User's Guide. Remember to select the Large Model
- and include the PXENGTCL.LIB (PXENGWIN.LIB for Windows) in the project
- file.
-
- If a table is open on a secondary index and you use PXSRCHFLD,
- you must search on that field. Searching on any other field returns
- the error PXERR_INVPARAMETER.
-
- To avoid lock contention, don't open and close tables in very tight
- loops. If you're using PXTBLCLOSE to flush buffers to disk, use PXSAVE
- or open the table with SaveEveryChange instead.
-
- In Windows you might receive the message, "Can't lock PARADOX.NET -- is
- SHARE.EXE loaded?". This message can mean that SHARE is not loaded, or
- it could mean that you can't access the PARADOX.NET file. If SHARE
- is loaded, check your Paradox Network Administrator's Guide for details
- on accessing PARADOX.NET.
