I've received offers from Borland to get both Paradox and Quattro Pro very inexpensively. Will either of these run under CodeBlue? Any comments would be appreciated. jd /exit

John, Quattro Pro very definitely works on the Rainbow, at least under Code Blue with Suitable Solutions' patches and MS-DOS 3.10B. I've been using it since around January and prefer it to the Rainbow versions of Lotus 1-2-3. — Carl

Carl: Thanx for the info about Quattro Pro. I don't use Lotus 1-23 enough to really need to replace it. But, I've never liked the way I've been treated by Lotus (regardless of the department I was dealing with). I might switch to Quattro just because I'm irritated enough with Lotus. One of those "just for the principle of it" things that end up costing me more than it's really worth! jd

While you're at it, John, you might consider Excel. It'll give you graphics, mouse support, and Mac file-level compatibility, none of which QP will support on the Rainbow until its Windows version appears. –Len
