phpBB Forum Reader

based of Idea of G.N. Rao and D. König from FiveWin Forum i wrote this App using harbour / HMG Syntax

1.) you can download phpBB Forum Thread Message and save it in local Database
2.) include CODE will be extract and show in seperate Window
3.) you can SET FILTER on Keyword and/or (not) Author
4.) you can translate BODY of Message into your Language (via Google API)
5.) use CONFIG.INI for your Layout and CODEPAGE (need for translate)

ad 1.) you can use different phpBB Forum in seperate Folder
ad 2.) when CODE Window is open but no CODE inside it will be Transparent
ad 3.) using Number as Keyword will SEEK Thread with Number
ad 4.) when Translate Window is visible and have Focus (!) you can paste from Clipboard

! Note : Google Translate is "limited" on (free) Request

Start Option :
 /T	show Toolbar (better for Table PC)
 /D	Debug Mode -> _LOGIT2.TXT 

press F1 for more Help and used Shortcut
