Hi, I have added this functionality a year ago, but now it turned out to limit app functionality so I reverted.
It makes it impossible to handle '--' options from app code on all platforms. Since '--' is becoming a std for portable command line tools, it's quite a shortage if Harbour as a language cannot allow this basic feature. Internal command line switches on the other hand, are quite unusual by themselves, they also have other alternatives in Harbour, and they are a less future proof Clipper heritage. Moreover '//' switches do work under *nix, so no functionality is lost, just some aesthetics. While I'm also not 100% satisfied with the current state, I didn't have free time to think out the perfect alternative myself. Ideas (and patches) are welcome as always.

Is there another way to do it? // is very unusual under *nix and has to be often escaped in scripts and commands. I think such kind of modifications should be announced and discussed. best regards, Lorenzo _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list [email protected] http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
