MT Support

[Simon White]

Hi
It appears that MT support in Harbour is more mature and stable than that
of xHarbour. Is it possible that Xailer could use the MT support of Harbour
or does it require Xailer to be based Harbour? I guess I am wondering how
the MT support could be greatly improved for use with Xailer.

It's needed a Harbour version of Xailer. It's in our plans, and we'll work
on it very soon.

Really? You're doing a Harbour version?
Is that necessary? I mean, aside from things like MT Support, isn't
xHarbour an extended superset of Harbour?

Childers,

Yes.

Well, we allways said that Xailer will support Harbour sooner or later. Now,
after releasing Xailer 2.0, we belive that this is the time to do it.

It was so for a long time, but it's not longer true. At this time, Harbour
has almost language extensions that xHarbour has. Of course, it doesn't mean
that we are going to drop xHarbour. We'll support both compilers.

I understand, sounds good. I'll look up Harbour again, haven't checked
it out in years.

The new version of Harbour now includes just about everything that xHarbour
has and in some cases I think exceeds xHarbour.

Xailer is an excellent product having it support both compilers sounds even
better to me.

Yes but it also "extends" some troubles. Check this:
