" With InterBase Express, you no longer need to develop with and
deploy the Borland Database Engine to build the perfect embedded
system. "

Does anyone know anything about this?  I have one program now that
uses Paradox tables, and will be developing several more.  Can I
really  just use Interbase Express instead, and eliminate the
installation of the BDE?  Or is there more to it ?

If your question was whether Interbase data can be accessed without
the BDE using Interbase Express, then, yes.

Interbase Express cannot access any Paradox data.

You don't need Delphi 5 to rid yourself of the BDE for Interbase (or
Paradox) access.  IBObjects (http://www.ibobjects.com) is the
fastest known way to access Interbase data.

If you want to get at Paradox data without the BDE then you can
use ODBCExpress (http://www.odbcexpress.com) which uses
ODBC to get at your data.

Or even better...
get DBISAM which converts your Paradox tables to its native
format and you'll never, ever, look back.  Only one installation of
your app is required for a network install, no BDE/Dlls etc. as well.

Do a search of DBISAM and you'll see how others feel too.
