PWCT?

Hi All,

I've revisited an old know project called PWCT.

It is based around HMG 'alternate' syntax and its main goal is to allow users, programming without coding. It uses / include Harbour and MiniGUI. It is (mainly) a code generator for MiniGUI Extended.

The project appears to be very successful now, it has more than 3,800,000 downloads in the last year:

(http://sourceforge.net/projects/doubles ... 2014-01-12).

The name of its author is very prominent everywhere in the product, even in the download file name, as you can see here:

Download Page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/doublesvsoop/files/

Sadly, readme and license files for Harbour and MiniGUI (packages included in PWCT product) are NOT PRESENT (I'm sure that this is an unintentional omission).

Since that MiniGUI library and Harbour compiler are important parts of PWCT product and its design is heavily influenced by MiniGUI / HMG command syntax (as you can see here):

It could be nice, if some acknowledgement to the people of Harbour, MiniGUI and HMG teams be added in future PWCT versions.

Bye!

PS: Luckily, the readme and license files are present for the Borland BCC55 compiler included in PWCT product too :)

Team,

I think this way of programming is similar to Clarion

Hello Mr. Roberto,

Thank you very much for HMG, THE GREAT FRAMEWORK (Simple & Powerful).

Thanks for the report about the missing files
I updated the Setup script file of PWCT and the next update (this month - Jan. 2014) will include the license and readme files

I'm sure that Harbour/MiniGUI/HMG developers will be happy since their work be acknowledged in PWCT.

Thanks!
