Have you tried ODBC access to dBase files? There are some
weirdnesses with the Paradox driver depending on which
version you're using, but ODBC should work to get to dBase files.
Yep. I can do it in Windows (XP comes with ODBC configured by
default) - but I can't find anything for OSX or
Unfortunately I don't know where to find such things. I spend a

I am now trying to build some externals for both mac and win32

my modest machine. I'd settle for DJGPP or Cygwin or whatever... If I

I suspect the repeat loop is so tight that it leaves no cycles left for the
engine to activate the animation frames. For most purposes, an animated gif
will happily run in it's own 'memory area', or at least that is my experiance
and impression over the years.
