		Please _do_ summarize.

Well, I recall seeing some mention of VROOM in the Paradox docs, but I
don't think they said much more then you already know;  ie. it's an
overlay manager of some kind.  On the other hand, you can ask Borland
directly about this by contacting Larry Kraft on CIS at
76703.764@compuserve.com.  This is the official connect point for
Borland information and tech. support from usenet.  On a related note,
Borland has just released the 'Paradox Engine' which is a C library
that allows easy integration of C applications with Paradox--or so it
is claimed.  A tp version is claimed to be on the way too.  Hope this
helps.

ps

My only realtionship with Borland is as a customer, just in case
that's important to you.
