<h2><a name="48"></a>6.4. What advantages do other Clipper compilers have over Harbour?</h2>
|
|
<p>Currently the advantages
|
|
<a href="harbour56.html#ClipperCompilers">other Clipper compilers</a> have over Harbour are:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>They are available and working (for various values of "working").</li>
|
|
<li>They are supported.</li>
|
|
<li>They are documented.</li>
|
|
<li>They, to some degree, give you
|
|
<a href="harbour11.html#Warranty">someone to blame</a>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>As time passes most of the above advantages will be eroded. Note that the
|
|
documentation process is well under way and that support is simply a
|
|
<a href="news:comp.lang.clipper">comp.lang.clipper</a> post away.
|
|
The only advantage that won't be eroded is the last one in the list.</p>
|
|
<p>I'm sure that users of
|
|
<a href="harbour56.html#ClipperCompilers">other compilers</a>,
|
|
not to mention their authors, feel they have other advantages too. This is
|
|
fine. Harbour isn't an exercise in removing or replacing those compilers,
|
|
Harbour is an effort to complement the
|
|
<a href="harbour56.html#ClipperCompilers">list of Clipper compilers</a> with a
|
|
<a href="harbour13.html#FreeSoftware">free software</a>
|
|
offering.</p>
