If not then I do not see any reason to force MinGW and GNUC users to use MSVC for creating official harbour.dll. Please remember that GCC based binaries are most portable between systems (in fact they can be created on all supported by us systems) with support for cross builds and MSVC is compiler which can be used only for very limited number of platforms. If sth should be considered as official windows shared library format then IMHO it should be compatible with MinGW harbour.dll. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
