I don't know MiniGUI, so I cannot tell. What is possible though is to provide such a binary distribution which is based on MinGW, contains MinGW binaries and also includes MSVC libs. Such package is a self-contained one being able to create executables without any external tools, it also has GNU Make, and it's also possible to use it with MSVC and even POCC if someone has these installed. I'll check if I can make hbmk2 detect such embedded mingw installation automatically. Such package is a 42MB .zip, and if this seems to be okay for everyone such package may replace our current compiler dependent distros, by the simple names of: harbour-1.1.0-win-x86.zip harbour-1.1.0-win-x86.exe harbour-1.1.0-win-x64.zip harbour-1.1.0-win-x64.exe harbour-1.1.0-wince-arm.zip harbour-1.1.0-wince-arm.exe I think such distros would send a much better message towards users and give them a much better service. Of course, all BCC/owatcom users will have to migrate to above proper compilers to be able to follow. Opinions? Brgds, Viktor
