Hello Harbour-project! First, I must tell that IMO xhb-diff.txt document is the best effort ever made to state parameters that really help [x]Harbour users to choose between Harbour and xHarbour. Beyond all the facts it describes, the reading gives a clue about the different development philosophy and orientation behind the languages. Thank you Przemeck and friends and congratulations!
I agree to Teo that xhb-diff should be accessible from the Harbour-project web page and it's also a very good thing that xhb-diff be part of Harbour packages. Although xhb-diff.txt is deep (and maybe because of it), I would like to suggest that it should be the base to another text, shorter and easier, to stand at the Harbour-project web pages to highlight everything that Harbour does very well or (when it is inevitable to compare) better than xHarbour. This text could help clarify that where is written "xHarbour will offer an alternative for those interested in a more aggressive & less conservative approach" in xHarbour.org web page, one should read "Harbour developers think better before writing the code down". [x]Harbour current and potencial users need to know, for a start, that the ST or MT mode in Harbour is not a "shakesperian" [existencial] question as in xHarbour, but is resumed to "to link or not to link" one single VM library! This single information tells more about the strength of the Harbour VM conception than all propaganda could tell! If the performance test results could be published as well I think it would be good to all [x]Harbour community. By the way, who doesn't care about sheaper, better and faster in this business!? One question: I couldn't understand what was resolved about Harbour documentation. The discussion on the mailling list seems not finished and without resolution. What was decided and how is it?

Also there is not a "Support" link in the http://www.harbour-project.org/ page, I know that under "Development" is the link to the mailing lists but I think that would be much clear to have it under "Support" Also, I think that it's very important to have the recent Przemek's xhb-diff.txt document somewhere at sight in the Harbour's main web page (of course after Przemek's permission), I believe that not few xHarbour users will appreciate it. best regards, Teo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list [email protected] http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
