It's a historical thing that Harbour picked it up (*), and developers followed suit 10 years ago and stuck with it since then. [ (*) With reason, as 10 years ago this was pretty much the first mainstream and usable compiler to go free, GCC just began to gain acceptance and maturity with version 2.95, but it was much slower on the computers of that time. Times have changed, and none of these advantages are relevant anymore. ] > same library are ready only for bcc like sqlrdd,mediator, ecc > so i agree with a tool ready to use for bcc user like me Mediator is also available for MSVC. Binary distributions for Windows usually support MSVC and MingW these days, sometimes Borland, but it's fading. Anyhow above two packages show exactly why closed commercial products can tie developer's hand, even if they are otherwise good and useful ones. Brdgs, Viktor
