...was a rival to Microsoft Access back in the 1990s. Once Microsoft starting bundling Access as part of Office it could not complete and it died by way of being undercut. You could make corny forms and reports with it just like Access. It was awful. I think it was Borland Paradox for a while too. I don't know who owned it first or last. Corel Draw, an Adobe Illustrator rival, was really the thing Corel got right, but you don't hear about it anymore either. Whatever. Corel Paradox came up in a conversation today so I thought of it anew.
