I hope someone can answer these, but until then I suggest to lookup past messages, there has been _lots_ of detailed talk about .hrb files, even recently. You can start by looking up HB_HRB*() functions in ChangeLog and find examples in source tree. They are pretty handy and lots of Harbour users / developers are actively using them. [ Also see Przemek's recent message about pcode-dlls, though it seems we're both recommending .hrb files. ] Brgds, Viktor _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
