The above Lorenzo text is such HOWTO. I use MS-Windows very seldom so it's possible that sth has changed in last years but last time I was using MinGW and MSys in real MS-Windows environment the whole installation process was reduced to two things: 1. run installers 2. confirm defaults Anyhow recently when my friend asked me about installing Harbour in his laptop I simply downloaded Harbour 2.0.0 windows binaries with integrated MinGW and I have to say it was real pleasure to install everything in few clicks and have working Harbour "out of the box" just like after installing RPMs or DEBs in Linux systems. My congratulations to you for this package. Very very good job. It should perfectly resolve the problems which novice users usually had: "how to start using Harbour?" best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
