There is one problem with v10 (even w/sp2) is that it will not print 
forms. V.11 fixed that.

WPO X7 is the last vers that lists Win XP for system requirements 
although I understand the PDX 9 will run in Win 10, so I don't know the 
relevance of that.

The major problem with PDX 11+ is that the help system is for s**t, at 
least from a programming perspective.

Pressing F1 while on a keyword, such as "tcursor" does not invoke help 
system at all, in PDX 10- it would not only invoke the help system it 
would display the index for whatever key word you were on, in this 
example it would be on tcursor type and you just had to press Enter or 
click.

Pressing F1 while the cursor is in a blank space will invoke the help 
system but it displays the index and you have to type the keyword to 
search for it.

I wrote to Corel and they got back to me several years later and said 
the development team elected to not fix it.

I use PDX 9 w/sp4 on WinXP and Win 7.
