What is bcBDE toolkit?
======================
The presented package gives the 32 bit Paradox/Delphi programmers a tool 
for changing Paradox database structure at run time.   
Thanks to this arrangement, the description of all necessary structure 
changes can be stored outside the main application in the form of script files. 
This, makes the maintenance of evolving database structure extremely easy.
bcBDE.DLL is embedded into an ObjectPAL Library, for ease of development. 
With only a few lines of ObjectPAL code, your application can perform extended 
BDE operations. 

bcBDE.DLL supports following restructure actions:

get table level,
change table level,
change field size,
moving field to desired position
get Block Size
change Block Size
