The goal of the Harbour project is to produce a cross platform +CA-Clipper compatible compiler. - The Harbour Project - -************************************************************************ -* This file contains information on obtaining, installing, and using * -* Harbour. Please read it *completely* before asking for help. * -************************************************************************ - -Harbour is a free implementation of an xBase language compiler. It is -designed to be source code compatible with the CA-Clipper(r) compiler. -That means that if you've got some code that would compile using -CA-Clipper(r) then it should compile under Harbour. The Harbour-Project -web page is: - http://www.Harbour-Project.org/ - - -Status and other information is always available from the web site. -There is a Harbour mailing list. Harbour is still at a very early -stage of development, so the mailing list is very much a Developers -only list, although every body is welcome to join in the discussions. - -We would like you to join the Harbour development team. If you are -interested you may suscribe to our mailing list and start contributing -to this free public project. - -Please feel free to report all questions, ideas, suggestions, fixes, -code, etc. you may need and want. With the help of all of you, the Harbour -compiler and runtime libraries will become a reality very soon. - - -What this distribution contains -=============================== - -This distribution is a Source code only distribution. It does not contain -any executable files. Executable versions of Harbour are available from -the web site. Executable versions of Harbour DO NOT create runable -programs. Harbour at the moment produces C output code, which must be -compiled with the Harbour Virtual Machine and the support libraries -in order to create a functioning program. -Please test running Harbour against your Clipper source code and report -any problems that might occur. - -Installation ------------- - -1. Unzip with Harbour zip file using pkunzip or equivalent. - E.G. pkunzip -d build72.zip - This will create Harbour/ directory and all the relevant sub - directories. - -2. Compile Harbour using your C compiler. Make files for different - platforms are included in the main Harbour directory. - - ---- COPYRIGHT --- - -What copyright information do we have - ---- LICENCE --- - -Information about the License for usage of Harbour is available in the -file LICENCE.TXT. - ---- DISCLAIMER --- - -Participants of The Harbour Project assume no responsibility for errors or -omissions in these materials. - -THESE MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER -EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF -MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. - -Participants of The Harbour Project further do not warrant the accuracy or -completeness of the code, information, text, output or any other items -contained within these materials.
