New Harbour Release

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.

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
