Corel Paradox ODBC Driver

I am in the process of migrating some legacy software that uses Delphi (XE3 or Tokyo) and the BDE against Paradox.

We will be going with UniDAC, and have the software running, using ODBC (MS Paradox Driver). Unfortunately, the MS Drivers are incomplete, we frequently get messages stating that some particular optional function is not available. Things like post should not be optional. :)

We own Corel Paradox 9.0. I just installed that hoping to find the official Corel ODBC Drivers would appear in my ODBCAdmin, but they did not. I went further and installed the Paradox 9 SDK, and then the Paradox 9 RunTime. Still the Corel ODBC Driver is not appearing in my ODBC Admin. Is there some extra step?

Based on what I have been told by other devs, the ODBC Drivers should have automatically populated after installing Paradox itself. The documentation is of no help and articles are few and far between.

Can someone tell me how to access the ODBC Paradox Driver from Corel? Alternatively, is there another way to hookup Delphi to Paradox, without ODBC (or the BDE)? I have searched, but not found any other way. FYI, eventually we will be going to SQLite, but we do still need paradox.

Thank you!

EDIT

Another approach... if anyone has this installed already, but doesn't know where it came from, Eg, some runtime library, one could open the ODBC Admin and the driver will point to the underlying dll. Just getting me the name of the dll would be very helpful.

Thank you, again.
