Release notes: Corel Paradox® 9 Runtime SP3
PLEASE RESTART YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE INSTALLING THIS SERVICE PACK.
This Service Pack will update your version of Corel Paradox® 9 Runtime included in the Corel Paradox® 9 Developer's Edition. It will also update the Runtime source files used by the Corel Paradox® 9 Distribution Expert. This Service Pack is not intended for the Standard, Legal or Professional versions of Corel Office 2000.
Version 9.00.421 (Initial Release) of Corel Paradox® 9 Runtime will be brought up to version 9.00.738 after installing Service Pack 3.
Important to note: Installing the original build of Corel Paradox 9 Runtime (or an application distributed via the original build of the Corel Paradox® Distribution Expert) over an installation that has Service Pack 3 applied will cause several files to be overwritten. If this occurs please re-apply Corel Paradox® 9 Runtime Service Pack 3.

The following section indicates the items addressed with this Service Pack: Service Pack 3 includes fixes for issues that were addressed in the full version of Corel Paradox® 9 in the Corel WordPerfect® Office 2000 Service Pack 1 and 2.

As part of the Corel Solution Partners membership, we are providing Platinum and Paradox members with the opportunity to obtain a CorelDRAW®9 for Linux® Beta2 CD.

To all of our Solution Partners who had installed the SDK from the WordPerfect Office 2000 CD's. There is now an updated version of the SDK available online at:

http://cache2.corel.com/@proxy=ftp@/pub/CorelSolutionPartners/Wp9sdk.EXE As a reminder, this is the latest revision of the WordPerfect SDK which is included on the WordPerfect CD's, including additional modifications made to some tools, documentation and samples.

The CSP Program is currently planning an on-line Chat session for Corel Solution Partners Paradox members to discuss any developer issues, future versions of Corel Paradox and marketing strategies relating to Paradox developers. We plan to have representatives from our Product Development, Technical support and Marketing teams available for any questions or concerns which need addressing. The time and date of this on-line Chat session will be determined within the next couple of weeks and all members will be notified by email. If you would like to see the on-line Chat sessions extended to Corel WordPerfect®, CorelDRAW®, Corel VENTURA™, or Corel Linux®, please send your feedback via email to partners@corel.com

We would like to invite all CSP Members interested in receiving our new monthly Corel® Paradox Developer Newsletter to please register on-line at: http://195.7.54.129/paradox_subscribe/. This newsletter will prove to be quite informative and extremely valuable to those interested in keeping abreast of Corel® Paradox issues and developments. We look forward to your comments and feedback.
