JSI allows *unlimited* workstations to access a common set of Paradox tables/data over the Internet or Intranet. Server copy as well as workstations can be Full or Runtime copies of Paradox.

Limited only by the number of requests a 'server' copy of Paradox can handle before other requests timeout.

It has been operating remote data sharing for a 15-store Formalwear business for over 2 years, saving the business tens of thousands of dollars a year in employee hours, telephone costs and customer notification hours. Several other installations run various portions of other businesses, at least of one which Tom Krieg can attest to; Tom helped get the source code debugged and ready for initial use <g>.

The code is provided without warranty. Licesnses keys for the controls used have been removed, and none of the ocx controls CAN be provided. They are from /nsoftware, however, so you can purchase them if you wish to go forward; they are the standard activeX versions, NOT the SSL (some issues). Further, there are some differences in the newer versions of the controls that would require some minor programming changes in the provided libraries.

The jsReserved*.ldl files are SOLELY so that some of the controls' properties can be set which are named the same as Reserved Words in Paradox. They can only be LDL files, since the contents of the libraries must be modified with a HEX editor AFTER they are delivered. These libraries were created with the info provided by Vladimir Menkin; thank you once again for sharing your knowledge, Vladimir!

I am willing to provide **minor** support for what is there. The main documentation for JSI is still available on thedbaddons.com.

The ZIPPING functions mentioned in that documentation have been stripped out, however, since the DLL I used for the zip/unzip functions requires no license key to use. No JSI functions utilize the zipping functionality, however, so the base JSI system still works even without these functions.

The zip file containing the JSI library can be found at
