Viktor you are talking about hmg-extended Harbour MiniGUI Extended is a fork up from Official HMG created March 2005. It aims to follow a more aggressive development path, and be more responsive to user's input.

Assunto: Re: [Harbour] Wich is the official harbour's user group? Hi Roberto, Thanks for the explanation, it certainly makes some gray issues clear. [ Still not all though, as there exists another package called MiniGUI Extended, which actually ships with Harbour 2.0.0b2, I'm not sure how's that related, and maybe some of my comments belong to this project. Sorry about this. This one is also called HMG and also MiniGUI so for me it's difficult to know which I'm looking at to this very day. But I'm trying :) ] It's really your project and your decision, but IMO it'd be a big step if you'd use a vanilla Harbour build (without customization). This way it'd be easier to swap components and general Harbour support could be given for both bundled and standalone Harbour distros without first identifying which build is in question. Moreover, general Harbour support could be given at any forums without being concerned about where this build comes from. Same goes for MiniGUI: Support could be given even here or other official or unofficial Harbour forums. For Harboor MiniGUI Extended I think the difference is tget*.prg, for normal Harbour MiniGUI I couldn't find information, about the nature of build customization. I still have plans to make the "plugin" concept even stronger. In Python, Perl, Ruby, this issue is solved beautifully and no one has to pack the base system with extra libs. One important component of this effort is hbmk2.
