I have make the changes to __KEYBOARD() to restore the extended
functionality we had before the new GT was imported from Harbour. Before
I commit I need the group to consider.
This change will make xHarbour GT incompatible with Harbour GT so any
synching with Harbour changes/bug fies will need to be done carefully.
I needed to change in hbgtcore.h
struct _HB_GT_BASE
line;
BYTE * StrBuffer;
to;
int * StrBuffer ;
which may require a CLEAN build and have implications for 3rd party
developers.
The question is, is the group ok for me to commit the change?
Regards
Peter
