Tomorrow I will examine all things pdox on the existing system closely just in case. I can ping the server, I can access the filesystem using smbclient.Īny further comments welcomed. Both desktop and mobile devices enable you to view and (sometimes) edit. These files can be categorized as Data Files. So as I see it, we are not connecting through the network to the server despite having correct settings as far as Pdox is concerned. File Extension FDL has two unique file types (with the primary being the Corel Paradox Secondary Index format) and is mostly associated with Corel WordPerfect X8 ( Corel) and three other software programs. In fact the apparent connection is a fiction, the 'set current directory as working directory' button is still greyed out. I did create the directory structure ~/.wine/dosdevices/unc/myserver/mydir (no drive letter?) and indeed Paradox now starts up and I can set the appropriate UNC path as the WORK: directory but no data shows.
I still assume it should work this way under Wine. Unless you commend me to do that I haven't see that as the way forward.Īny Paradox client running on a Windows box connects to the Win server simply using the UNC path specified in the BDE (Borland Database Engine) idapi.cfg file. Target: C:Program FilesCorelParadox 10 RuntimeProgramspdxrwn32.exe -w C:Program Filesappfolderpsimenu.fdl -q. I was not intending to mount the share from the Win server onto my linux file system tree. I saw that and concluded that it was not relevant to the problem as I then saw it.
