Good.

I'm preparing a ( small ) introduction to the language and a tutorial.

My first goal is to create a simple "distribution" based on arbitrary
defaults that allow a newbie to download, make and create in few
minutes ( using only hb* scripts ) a gttrm/wvt/xwc example, or a cgi
example or gtk example under Lin, Win and OSX using ( as options )
Eclipse as IDE and glade as a "screen painter".

I would be happy to start from 1.1 since MT is a key feature but I'm
using 1.0.1 at the moment.

It is not a fork. I'll never change the code or the syntax ( maybe few
PP alternatives ).
I simply want to easy the start of newbies that don't know anything
about the past and want to evaluate a modern language.

1 - only multi-platform features will be documented
2- only the gcc toolchain will be supported
3 - only few multi-platform contribs will be ported
4 - dbf management and cui classes will be almost ignored in the doc

If a developer want more or different things she/he has to refer
directly to the upstream projects ( harbour-projects and xhgtk ).

Any comment is welcome.

best regards,
Lorenzo
