Hello everyone.
Rathinagiri has kindly agreed to allow me to post a link to my own website which I am using as part of a project to develop a guide to the xBase programming language using the Harbour compiler and HMG.
The guide is initially aimed at former xBase or Clipper programmers who wish to re-build their skills but I also hope, in time, to develop the guide so that it will be useful to people completely new to programming or programming in xBase. I think it's a great language and it would be fantastic to introduce this to more people!
Please be aware that I am a complete beginner when it comes to building and maintaining a website and am having to learn as I go! Hopefully, the first blog entry will give you more details of what I intend to do and the approach I am going to take.
The site is at URL - www.flamelily.net
The blog section allows users to post any comments on each entry (I have forced CAPTCHA for this to try and minimise any spam) and I will obviously check the HMG Forum quite often. I very much welcome any comments or suggestions!
Thank you all and all the best for 2013!

Hi Stuart
Good start, nice work; please continue
By the way, your story is highly similar to mine
differences are : mainframes we did worked on back in the 80’s, and I did never break programming since 1977 
Beside materials sent by me to our forum, you can use anything from my blog

Viva Clipper language, viva HMG

Thank you Zimbo.
Our interests are mutual.
Our interests are mutual.

East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.

Hi Jagdeesan
Have you downloaded HMG 3.4.4. It contains loads of samples on use of various controls.
You may also refer to Esgici 's great website vivaclipper.
The HMG.3.4.4 directory contains tutorials under Basics sub-directory.
If you want to compile old clipper programs and run it in console mode, without changing an alphabet in your code, add following lines before start of your code
#include "hmg.ch"
REQUEST HB_GT_WIN_DEFAULT
FUNCTION MAIN()
setmode(25, 80)
... your program
Now you can compile using IDE installed along with HMG

I had to stop developing for a long time due to work and personal commitments.
But....
I'm back! Just downloaded HMG 3.5 and will be having a good look at that (thank you all the developers).
