Hello

How do we stand the comparison today between harbour and xharbour

I personnally have used xharbour since it's very beginning, at that time xharbour was far more powerful and extended than harbour , the dev was in xharbour , ported to harbour afterwards , now i notice we go the opposite way , dev in harbour ported to xharbour , so i am curious to know what advantage remains today using xharbour over harbour.

Is it worth moving to harbour ?

Are there any compatibility issues ?

If any experemented user can explain the difference ?

Thanks in advance,

Richard

The same like me. But about 1 year ago I changed my code that it worked very well with xHarbour and Harbour. But in the first time I only used Harbour apps only internal for testing. Since about 4 months I only use Harbour apps.

IMO definitely yes.

As I remember, if there are some, only small ones. This was one of them:
