Hi Rathinagiri.Viktor,Roberto (and everybody) Will harbour and hmg share an harbour corner to made good assistance to either final user? http://www.hmgforum.com/
Which is the idea of Rathinagiri HMG Forum site owner and admin ? How is possible have identity of harbour on harbour corner? is possible use a wiki on www.hmgforum? Can harbour and minigui share experience about documentation ? (hbdoc+hmgdoc) Can HMG/Roberto lopez include last version from cvs so we have a final version error free? HMG have a large userbase As ready to use situation i suggest the ready to use Viktor's version at http://www.syenar.hu/harbour/ 2009/10/5 Viktor Szakáts <harbour...@syenar.hu>: > 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.
