Limits of Delphi 2's paradox database

Hi,

Currently we have an application which was developed with delphi 2 with the
according paradox database. The problem is that I'm not able to find out
what the limitations are for this database, the directory with the database
files is about 1.6 GB. Can anyone tell me how big paradox can be before it
will experience problems. I know for instance that access has a 1 GB limit
for it's files.
Thanks,

Paradox's limits are on individual table size and that size limit is based on
the block size of the table. You can compute that limit at 64meg per K of block
size so that for a table with 4k blocks (the default) the maximum table size is
256 meg.
