Never thought it could be that easy to switch between
the two languages.

I only changed in rmk file path of harbour directory from
Harbour to xharbour and fiveh.lib to fivehx.lib,
echo $(FWDIR)\lib\FiveHx.lib $(FWDIR)\lib\FiveHC.lib + >> b32.bc.
All compiled with no error.

Take in mind that this concerns my main application.

Thanks again to all who made this possible.
Regards,
Otto

Otto,

It is very good that we have the capability to build our applications using both Harbour and xHarbour.

Just keep in mind that if you use some specific xHarbour extension that it is not supported in Harbour, then you will break that capability that you have now :-)

Antonio,.

does harbour offer any advantages over xharbour ?

Stefan,

There is no an easy answer for your question :-)

According to Harbour developers, Harbour internally is more robust and better designed. Obviously, xHarbour developers won't agree on this.

IMO it is a very good idea to keep the ability to build your application with both compilers, so you can decide for yourself :-)
