Enrico,

I work strictly with the Harbour builds Antonio supplies. I do not communicate with the Harbour developers.

I dropped my subscription to xHarbour several years back. I did it because all of the upgrades were with Visual xHarbour which I did not use, and because there was no plan to upgrade the compiler or linker. It may be a fine product but it was not a good business decision to continue paying for it. I also quit asking for support there because the few questions I did ask were left unanswered.

Enrico,

I was using xHarbour at first too, then I switched to Harbour. I don't remember why now.

I am mainly interested in Harbour now so we can use MS's C compiler because I wonder how long Borland's will be available.

To me Harbour is the way to go, but of course, I fully respect if somone wants to keep using xHarbour and FWH will support it too

Enrico,

To me the existence of the library hbcplr.lib for Harbour is such important that I don't need more reasons to choose Harbour.

hbcplr.lib holds the entire Harbour compiler inside it, so we can compile PRGs from our EXEs, in memory and execute the code. To me this is extremelly important

If you want some more reasons, I can provide you with some more, but as I said the above reason is more than enough for me

Enrico,

xHarbour does not provide it. You may ask in the xHarbour devel list. I wish I were wrong

Go to FWH\samples build FiveDBU.prg and open any DBF and click on "Processes". There you have a complete example of use.

This capability is the foundation to build a professional ERP software. ERPs are the most powerful apps by far.

Its possibilities are endless

Thanks

I will be very happy to find one or more real reason to switch!

That document is obsolete. Most features are provided by xHarbour too.
