[AccessD] Paradox and Windows stupidity

Well, I still have a need for moving old Paradox data
to access, and I keep a copy of Access 2.0 around for
that reason.  Once we started using Access 97, the
import for Paradox stoped working.  If you need in of
the files for the import - I think it will as about a
file named 'pardox.net', I have a copy of it if you
need it.
