 Using the DBPX Database Driver
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     To use Paradox files in a CA-Clipper  program:

     1. Place REQUEST DBPX at the top of each program file (.prg) that opens
        a database file using the DBPX driver.

     2. Specify the VIA "DBPX" clause if you open the database file with the
        USE command.

        -OR-

     3. Specify "DBPX" for the <cDriver> argument if you open the database
        file with the DBUSEAREA() function.

        -OR-

     4. Use RDDSETDEFAULT( "DBPX" ) to set the default driver to DBPX.

        Except in the case of REQUEST, the RDD name must be a literal
        character string or a variable.  In all cases it is important that
        the driver name be spelled correctly using uppercase letters.

     The following program fragments illustrate:

     REQUEST DBPX
     .
     .
     .
     USE Customers INDEX Name, Address NEW VIA "DBPX"

     -OR-

     REQUEST DBPX
     RDDSETDEFAULT( "DBPX" ).
     .
     .
     .
     USE Customers INDEX Name, Address NEW
