With the advent of Paradox for Windows 1. 0 in 1993, which was then owned by Borland Corporation, ObjectPAL was born.

Although key features of the DOS product, the QBE and the database engine, were ports keeping the DOS code, there was a major break in compatibility from PAL to ObjectPAL and in the shift to a GUI design metaphor for Forms and Reports.

The ObjectPAL changes were controversial but forced since PAL was based on keystroke recording actions that had no equivalent in Windows.

The ObjectPAL was ( like Hypercard ) associated with the visual objects-also revealed by right click.

Microsoft Access offered many features that were easier for end users and developers to implement, including a more intuitive query interface using Windows links between fields rather than the Paradox text tagging of fields in QBE, and the Access Basic programming language which was more similar to PAL than ObjectPAL.

Although there are many fans of ObjectPAL, the programming language for Paradox / Windows, PAL / DOS scripts could not easily be migrated ; the object and event models were completely different, forcing developers using PAL to completely rewrite their database applications.

ObjectPAL is short for Object-Oriented Paradox Application Language, which is the programming language used by the Borland Paradox database application ( now owned by Corel ).

However, for what it is, ObjectPAL provides a wideranging and versatile language for creating Paradox applications.

The syntax and structure of the language resembles Visual Basic, but knowing Visual Basic would only help someone new to ObjectPAL in the sense that any other programming skill would be transferable to ObjectPAL.

ObjectPAL is not a full free-standing object-oriented language.

Tridgell was also a leader in hacking the TiVo to make it work in Australia, which uses the PAL video format.

It was not released in PAL markets.

The support of overscan, interlacing and genlocking capabilities, and the fact that the display timing was very close to broadcast standards ( NTSC or PAL ), made the Amiga the first ideal computer for video purposes, and indeed, it was used in many studios for digitizing video data ( sometimes called frame-grabbing ), subtitling and interactive video news.

Located in London, UK, Square Europe was granted exclusive publishing rights in Europe and other PAL territories for all interactive entertainment titles developed by Square.

For obscure reasons a mere handful of copies of these games are known to be in circulation — with T-Mek being so scarce that until a copy surfaced on eBay in late 2005, it was widely held that the PAL release was only a rumor.

In the case of modern television receivers, no other technique was able to produce the precise bandpass characteristic needed for vestigial sideband reception, similar to that used in the NTSC system approved by the U. S. Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) in 1953, and the PAL system approved by the BBC in 1957.

Although there was no full-scale PAL region release of the system, imported PC Engine consoles were largely available in France and Benelux through major retailers thanks to the unlicensed importer Sodipeng ( Société de Distribution de la PC Engine, a subsidiary of Guillemot International ).< ref >

One advantage to using monochrome video is that different colour broadcast standards ( e. g. PAL, NTSC ) simply weren't an issue when the system was sold outside the UK.

When the show returned in 1970, it was recorded the same way only in colour in PAL 576i ( using 625 lines ).

The monochrome 405-line standard remained in place until 1985 in some areas, and it was three decades until the introduction of the 625-line system in 1964 and ( PAL ) colour in 1967.

352x240 and 352x288 ( or SIF ) resolution was chosen because it is half the vertical, and half the horizontal resolution of NTSC and PAL video, respectively.

For the VHS SP mode, which already uses a lower tape speed than the compact cassette, this resulted in a mediocre frequency response of roughly 100 Hz to 10 kHz for NTSC ; frequency response for PAL VHS with its lower standard tape speed was somewhat worse.

The film has been released on video in its entirety in various European, Latin American, and Asian countries — in the UK it was released on PAL VHS tape in 1982 and again in 1991, and in Japan ( where under Japanese copyright law it is in the public domain ) it appeared on NTSC VHS, BETA and laserdisc with subtitles, while a NTSC laserdisc was bootlegged in Hong Kong from the UK PAL videotape.
