Hi Fritz,
Since this is a Harbour list, we're using Harbour terms
and lib names. For best results I'd suggest to use the
Harbour codebase to find things easily :)
thanks for explanations - they make it a lot clearer.
but
- what could be a reason for using xharbour then.
You might be using some extensions which are only
found in xhb. The number of these is pretty small
now though. You can find almost all special xhb
language extensions in xhb.lib for Harbour.
Multithreading is missing from Harbour yet, but it
it's planned to be implemented soon, and with
a superior approach.
- is xharbour just another (clipper-compatible) language
Harbour is a CA-Cl*pper compatible language, probably the
most compatible of all implementations. I don't have
any numbers, but it's pretty close to be 100% compatible.
There are some minor differences, because Harbour is multiplatform
and we also didn't want to replicate all the bugs in Clipper.
- is xharbour a commercial project, while harbour is free
Harbour is free in spirit.
- can i use the xharbour reference-guide with harbour
For the most part, yes.
- can i use the clipper 5.1 handbook with harbour
Yes. Our target is 5.2e/5.3b compatibility, but 5.1 is
also pretty close.
Brgds,
Viktor
