... xHarbour: AB9C That means that xHarbour uses much more static variables than Harbour. To me the above confirms my idea that Harbour is much more evolved than xHarbour and thus the difference in sizes. On a mid term, the software tends to grow as it grows in complexity and in maturity :-) https://bitbucket.org/fivetech/screenshots/downloads/harbxHarbMaps2.JPG

... evolves (Darwin). Natural selection (usability, robustness, facts) finally decides the one that continues (see how Clipper remains very well alive evolved as Harbour). It works very well and thats why it survives :-) See FiveWin remaining alive for all these years. We left many competitors in the ...

... in nature: Software evolution means diversity, exactly the same way that nature evolves, and not the oposite way. Look at the way that software evolved along the years: diversity and natural selection (the best tools survive) exactly the same way mother nature evolves. So that idea is simply ...

Patrizio, But that was back in 2010, it may have greatly evolved in this time. Knowing Alexander Kressin as I know him (he helped a lot when we started building Harbour: he wrote the DBFNTX RDD, the first preprocessor (though lately Przemek, replaced ...

If you want us to perform some tests, we can run them, publish the results so you can compare with yours

... three days reinstalling different Windows 8 versions, what a mess... I installed the Consumer Preview version as I thought that it was the most evolved version, but surprisingly it said that it was not a "developer" version. So I moved back to the Developer Preview version. Then discovered ...

... will never see the light, we have decided to make it free and to publish it so maybe it will attract the interest and energy that it needs to be evolved :-) There it is, please enjoy it as much as we did when we built it :-)

Richard, Finally we have not used Patrick's source code. It is quite messy and too complex. We have evolved the existing FiveWin Visual IDE, included with FWH, to make it functional. It is simple and very well structured. From Patrick's work, we just get some ideas, but ...
