Here is what I got when I tried to run the Paradigm.db with MacGoesMoo
(note: i had converted it to simpletext, is there any particular creator
and file type it should have?)

I do not think this is a problem with the file.  Perhaps it is because macs
use different line separators.  Find a program to open the DB file with...
if it is one big long line, seperated with weird symbols, that's most likely
the problem.
