Paradox for Windows 1.0
Paradox for DOS was a relational database management system originally written by Richard Schwartz and Robert Shostak, and released by their company Ansa Software in 1985. In September 1987, Borland purchased Ansa Software, including their Paradox/DOS 2.0 software. Notable classic versions were 3.5 and 4.5. Versions up to 3.5 were evolutions from 1.0. Version 4.0 and 4.5 were retooled in the Borland C++ windowing toolkit and used a different extended memory access scheme. Paradox/DOS was a successful DOS-based database of the late eighties and early nineties. At that time, dBase and its xBase clones (Foxpro, Clipper) dominated the market. Other notable competitors were Clarion, DataEase, R:Base, and DataFlex. The features that distinguished Paradox/DOS were: a visual Query by Example implementation that was supported by an AI engine. effective use of memory (conventional as well as extended / expanded) - caching data tables, and particularly indexes, which caused Paradox to execute tasks very quickly in contrast to the explicit skills required for xBase performance optimisation.[1] an innovative programming language the Paradox Application Language (PAL) that was readable, powerful, and could be recorded from keyboard actions (rather like Lotus 1-2-3 macro recording). Lotus-like text menus and windows which was the native interface (in contrast to dBase which had a command line interface with menus layered on top). Particularly in Paradox 1.0 and 2.0, the user and programming manuals won readability awards[citation needed] - they were copiously illustrated, well laid out and explanations were written in common English.

Paradox for Windows 1.0
The first Windows version of the Borland Paradox for DOS. Paradox for Windows is a distinctly different product from Paradox for DOS, and was produced by a different team of programmers. Although key features of the DOS product, the QBE and the database engine, were ports keeping the DOS code, there was a major break in compatibility from PAL to ObjectPAL and in the shift to a GUI design metaphor for Forms and Reports. The ObjectPAL changes were controversial but forced since PAL was based on keystroke recording actions that had no equivalent in Windows. An object-based language based on ideas from Hypercard was used in place of keystroke recording. The Forms and Reports designers used device independent scaling including ability to work in zoomed mode for detailed layout. The mouse right-click was used for access to Forms and Reports properties, inspired by the Xerox Alto and Smalltalk, in a way now almost universal to Windows programs. The ObjectPAL was (like Hypercard) associated with the visual objects - also revealed by right click. Property inspection and layout tools could be "pinned up" to stay on screen, an idea borrowed from the NeXT and now fairly widely adopted in Windows.

PARINT .parity error interceptor ver 2.0
PARINT .this file is dated 1980 .and was used in the apple altair computers /the CP/M OPERATING SYSTEM .The file was converted to be used in the IBM 3.1 operating system in 1984 .parity errors in the memory in motherboards and expansion boards must have been a worry to computer users back in the late 1970 and early 1980 so a small utility like this to test the memory parity must help .ibm then improved the parity checking with their own utility programmes .this small utility is only 512 bytes /so downloading such a small utility was impossible .so I combined this with WinRAR to make it big enough to download.so delete the WinRAR when opened to use the parint.com it will load into memory and be a warning if any parity errors show up in the memory .this looks to be a very early utility .so it is a scarce program.

Patton Versus Rommel
Patton vs. Rommel is a computer war game designed and programmed by Chris Crawford, and published by Electronic Arts in 1987 for the Macintosh and DOS. The DOS version was adapted by Sculptured Software, and a Commodore 64 version was also created. After the success of Crawford's game Balance of Power EA wanted to work with him, but could not acquire the rights to sequel the game. Instead, they suggested he build on the tradition of his seminal Atari title Eastern Front. Rather than create a derivative game on the Western Front, Crawford elected to focus the game's design on fog of war and the personalities of American general George Patton and the German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.+++NEEDS DOSBOX TO RUN ON MODERN COMPUTERS+++
