Paradox & BDE Support

One of the few providers still actively offering Corel Paradox support: DOS, Windows, the BDE, and related Delphi tools. If your business still runs on a Paradox application, we can help.

Decades of Paradox expertise, still online

The internet, smartphones, modern Windows, and somehow there are still Paradox applications running businesses all over the world. We've been supporting them since the DOS days, and we still do.

Need a one-off "quick fix"? Ongoing maintenance? An analysis of an aging application? Just access to the utilities and downloads that keep these systems running? Any of the above.

Get in touch about your application →

Support options

Pick the level that fits your situation

Below are several typical levels of support. We can also build a custom support or maintenance program for your situation. Not sure which fits? Call or email first.

Free Support

Community newsgroups

The Paradox community is small but knowledgeable. For general questions, the public newsgroups are still active and full of seasoned developers willing to help.

The Quick Fix

Event-based and hourly support

Need help right now? The Quick Fix is hourly, event-based help. Good for "my reports stopped working" or "my data won't open" emergencies. Pay-as-you-go.

Sanity Check

Special analysis package

A focused review of your application: structure, table integrity, performance, and risks. Useful before a major upgrade, hardware migration, or platform change.

Buy the Byte

Combined or special purchases

Bundled packages combining support hours with downloads, utilities, or other purchases. Useful for ongoing relationships and recurring work.

Need something custom? For day rates, development projects, RFPs and quotes, priority support, or maintenance agreements, please call. Let's talk.

All selections include "instant payment" options through our standard merchant account or PayPal (secure online credit card or bank account). We also accept personal check, company check, money order, or bank transfer. Checks must clear before services begin or product ships. All other options are processed immediately on receipt and validation.

Downloads

Utilities, guides & documentation

Files we make available for the Paradox, BDE, and Delphi community. Most are standard Pkzip / Winzip format unless noted.

BDE and TUtility files

Important: Using the Table Repair Utility does not guarantee successful repair of Paradox tables. Some issues the Verify process flags as warnings can cause serious problems and will not be repaired automatically. Always back up your tables before running any repair tool, and always validate your data and table structures after a repair.

These files are offered as a public service, without representation of any kind. We also recommend ChimneySweep as a complementary repair and diagnostic tool. See Sundial Services in the links below.
