Hi,


Please find a new Harbour release at http://www.Harbour-Project.org
The Harbour Project is a Free Software effort to build a cross platform
Clipper language (32-bit) compiler.


We have also set up a mailing list for Harbour Users. For detalis see the
Harbour Web Site.

delegating)
      - Linux/Unix ncurses screen output and xterm mouse input support
      - MEMOEDIT support started
      - CONTRIBs better separated from core Harbour (TOOLS moved there)
      - Simplified and enhanced base for multiplatform coding
      - Language API (link/compile time language modul selection)
      - Several small optimizations, enhancements and fixes (compiler, macro,
GT,
            inkey, make and build systems, more strict compiler warnings)
      - Compiler pcode size optimizations (new compact pcode versions added and
            other tricks)
      - Far jump pcode support
      - Double number size support in pcode
      - Pcode finalized in the compiler, instead of the output generation
modules.

      - RSX32 and RSXNT compiler support
      - SETKEY functions, ASORT(), SAVESCREEN/RESTSCREEN rewritten in C
      - Extensions (XPP, C53, Harbour) are easier to switch of and better
separated
            from Harbour.
      - Some fixes for 10 chars support.
      - New most compact and fast -gc0 (C language) output method added.
      - -gf switch renamed to -go
