Hi all,

RL will crash when compiled with Harbour.

The problem is that it's using 10 chars longer
PRIVATE vars, then saves them to a .mem file
and restores them before doing anything.

Now, .mem files can only store var names up to
10 chars, so when the vars are restored their
names are truncated and not found at runtime
using the longer names used in the source.

Any suggestion how to solve this Clipper
compatibility problem the most efficient way?

I had thought that we could limit PRIVATE/
PUBLIC var names to ten chars at runtime for
compatibility. PRIVATE/PUBLIC is not something
users want to use for new code, yet, above
situation can very easily break old apps.

Brgds,
Viktor
