My friends Antonio,
My friends at fivetech, greetings and best wishes.
I want to thank you all for your advice and sharing of experiences since year missing 2005.
I would like to inform you that I have switched to QT C++ am now programming all platforms except IOS and Arduino
If anyone needs any advice on QT C++, I am ready.

Hathal, Since you are now working with Qt: What concrete advantages do you see for a Windows-only developer compared to a Harbour/FiveWin approach where missing functionality can be added via pragma or direct WinAPI calls? Best regards, Otto

Hello Otto,
Qt is C/C++ 11+ and above. It's mostly free, but you need to be a C/C++ programmer.
Harbour libraries can be used with WinAPI 32/64-bit and ARM processors.
If we were to meet Antonio Linares, CEO of FiveTech Software, and he were to assemble FiveWin using Qt tools,
you would be able to work with DBF databases easily and develop cross-platform architectures for Windows, Linux, Android, or iOS .
I created an Arduino application for an ESP32 chip. It's a server that supports DBF files. In other words,
I created the DBF source code without any external language, just C/C++ A very small library Limited.
Developing Arduino on a custom C\C++, not QT.
Web downloads FROM https://www.qt.io/development/offline-installers.
Note: If you want the output to be Supports the old 32-bit Android applications With the A new,
download the QT 6.5.3 version.
Otto,
if you need any ู Api windows , I need any Windows version. Tell me what version
of Windows you have and whether it's 32-bit or 64-bit.
What job is required,
and which compiler do you use? Is it Borland Compiler or Microsoft vc ++ ?
I can create the API you need, whether it's a source code or a DLL.
One or two functions are essential for Your applications.
If I have any Unicode (UTF-8) problems, I can fix them for you 100%.
Greetings to you all.
HATHAL.
