Create a new paradox database file. The actual file has to be opened before
with <function>fopen</function>. Make sure the file is writable. The first
parameter is the return value of <function>px_new</function>.
<option>fielddesc</option> is an array containing one element for each
field specification. A field specification is an array
itself with either two or three elements.The first element is always a
string value used as the name of the field. It may not be larger than ten
characters. The second element contains the field type which is one of the
constants listed in the table
<link linkend="paradox.table-fieldtypes">Constants for field types</link>.
In the case of a character field or bcd field, you will have to provide a
third element
specifying the length respectively the precesion of the field.

<para>Calling this functions issues a warning about an empty tablename which
can be savely ignored. Just set the tablename afterwards with
<function>px_set_parameter</function>.</para>
</note>
<note>
<para>This function is highly experimental, due to insufficient
documentation of the paradox file format. Database files created with this
function can be opened by <function>px_open_fp</function> and has been
successfully opened by the Paradox software, but your milage may vary.
