More problems. There is a "THREAD STATIC s_aPorts" declaration before the main procedure in telepathy.prg and no matter how I build this it always crashes with: Error BASE/1003 Variable does not exist: S_APORTS. Even if I put altd() before any other functions in main() it crashes first. I have tried changing it to a PUBLIC inside main(). I have tried it without the 'THREAD', I have compiled it with -mt but all produce the same result. I cannot find any documentation on Harbour variable declarations and scoping anywhere. Even a small test program with a STATIC declared before the main() procedure cannot see the static variable within the program. As I understand it a STATIC declared outside the main procedure should have application wide scope - is this correct?
