You can execute Paradox Runtime applications under Windows or OS/2. See the
HELPME.TXT file in the PDOXRUN system directory for complete information
about using Paradox Runtime with Windows or OS/2.


3. NOTES ON TUTILITY
--------------------

TUTILITY (for Table Utility) is a program designed to repair damaged
tables. The TUTILITY program that comes with Paradox 3.5 does not work
on Paradox 4.5 tables. If you have damaged Paradox 4.5 tables, use the
TUTILITY program included in your Paradox 4.5 system directory.

Paradox tables can be damaged by power failures, hardware failures, bad
network cards or connections, removing a floppy disk that Paradox is
accessing, or rebooting the system while Paradox is active in memory.
You should always make regular backups of your important data.

To start TUTILITY, type TUTILITY at the DOS prompt, then press [Enter].
Additional instructions and a description of program options are
provided in the TUTILITY.DOC file. Online help is also available when
you run the program. Command-line help is available by typing
TUTILITY -help.
