Paradox is a database system from the Corel Corporation and STRAND is written in the Paradox language known as ObjectPAL. The copyright of Paradox is owned by Corel; the copyright of STRAND belongs to the author, John Pugh. The author is licensed by Corel to distribute Paradox with STRAND but any problems with STRAND should be referred to him and not Corel.
STRAND runs under the following operating systems
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows NT
Windows ME
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Corel state that Paradox will run in Windows 95 with 16 Mbytes of RAM and a 486 processor running at 35 MHz. However this would give only a poor performance but any machine equalling or exceeding 133 MHz Pentium class processor with 32 Mbytes of RAM will run STRAND satisfactorily. Any recent machine will give very fast running indeed.
The hard disk requirements of STRAND are also very modest. In summary
| Paradox | 24 Mbytes |
| STRAND | 6 Mbytes |
| Customer Data | circa 1 Mbyte |
| Each auction retained on the disk | circa 4 Mbytes |
STRAND is not available for Mac machines.
The licence for STRAND is for use by an individual or company on one machine.
