"As Otto suggests, one can create a database to handle all of it." Yes, that's the type of approach that I'm leaning towards. Some of the older case tools like Dbsee accepted comments for all of the components in its repository, and one could auto-generate documentation from those. "I...

Sounds good, Tim. But I'd want the notes, including a block for descriptions of each element, to be in a format that a program could easily extract. In other words, the purpose of the documentation isn't just readibility for human beings, but also a reference for automated processes that might analy...

Oh, hi Tim, Yes, this is a possibility, as well. Sort of a Table of Contents of the program, or maybe more like an index. In earlier days, I put in an extended comment section at the top of each .prg file. In it I listed Functions, Commands, Classes, Methods, and Variables. I would define each one. ...

Angel, Thanks but I'm not interested in cleaner code. That's a separate subject. I'm just trying to get some inspiration about some creative ways to document variables, specifically in Harbour/Fivewin. Also, I have absolutely no interest in Object Oriented Programming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...

Yes, that's a nice sample to start with, thanks.

Hi, This is more of a brainstorming question, rather than anything technical. I'd like to stop using my variant of hungarian notation, because it doesn't really look presentable, and it doesn't fit in with standard modern practice. The way I write variables is like Account_Number_n Customer_Name_edt...

Thanks nage, There's no function folder in samples. if you mean the .c code in the ..\samples and subfolders, yes that's helpful. But nobody - as far as I know - has put together any kind structured tutorial document with short samples and maybe exercises. All we have is reference documentation and ...

Thanks, nages I badly want to understand the Harbour C api. There's certainly plenty of documentation in terms of reference material, and a few examples from the Clipper days and the Harbour implementation. But I'm so far from understanding it, and there's no clear path to being an expert. Months ba...

Nages, Thanks, of course we can do it that way. Sorry, I left out that I was looking for a C alternative. I guess my real question is how to convert Joe Booth's Bit.c to Harbour: /******************************************************************************* * Program Id: bit.c *    Version: 1.00 *...

Hi,

Looking at Harbour SetBit(), it looks like it requires either a number of a hex string.

Is there an existing function that can take a binary string like "001110110", and set one of the 0 bits to 1?

Ok, Thanks cnavarro.

Hi,

Is there something similar to an /C with buildh, that builds a console app?

I need to make use of simple

? Status_s

commands, without a message box.

Oh, wow. Wasn't expecting that.

Ok, thanks N.

Will it be during this quarter, or the summer?

Ok, thanks Antonio.
