Hello Everyone,,,

I'm brand new to the forum. I'm also brand new to HMG ...

I'm not brand new to Clipper,, I go back to the beginning...

I have a lot of Clipper applications in use for my customers.

Some of them have been running everyday in big companies for over 23 years !

They are running at factories in China, Mexico, and the US right now as I type !

So,, my first job is not to invent new programs, rather to help some of my existing software survive.

I need a lot of patients from some of you ! I will appear rather "dumb" for a long time until I get my hands around
what I'm doing.

So,, my first big question for the board is;; What do I download to have HMG ? I found a place called hmgforum.com/site ....

I went there,, It had something about "HFCL 3/4" Then another tab "HMG releases 1/17" ???

There was no kind of explanation as to what to do that I could find ???

Then,, on the revived "Clipper... Clipper... Clipper" forum there was a "Merry Christmas" edition of somekind of update called HMG.Extended ?????

At first I thought it was the latest update ! ??? Please tell me,, What is that !! ???

I'm sure the compiler will be much more simple if I can figure out what to do to get it !

Thanks in advance,,
Bill

Hi Bill

Welcome aboard; regards from Turkiye

You are right, HMG have some confusing points about its versions for beginners

Latest stable version of HMG is 3.0.35 and you can download it here.

You can reach this info by : Board index > HMG News and Updates pages of forum.

HMG 4 is a new era for HMG and it's development stage yet.

HFCL is a "user compenent library" and you can use it a little of advanced level.

My humble opinion is: begin with version 3.0.35.

Happy HMG'ing

Regards
