Hi,
thank you for your exaustive answer.
No, it's not a must at all. I was trying to convert a sample application with
Harbour. I choosed an application among the others without a fixed scope (that
was the first that came in my mind...). These ct functions worked well in that
application but it's easy to disable them: it's only cosmetic.
Your answer opens a wide range of other questions (at least for me), but I
think not to bore all of you in long a waste-time threads, as I see you are
full time engaged in coding and replying (very little time for family I
suppose...). Maybe in the future ...
Best regards,
Marco
