Hi there,

I picked up hmg again after 6 years.
I am trying to compile a program i wrote long ago. It uses miniprint.
Now i am using Ver 3.3.1 when trying to compile. Doesn't work.

I figured out miniprint doesn't exist anymore in this version.
Where can I findwhich library to use?

Richard

AFAIR I've made this change during 2005/2006:
- HMG 2.0 ALPHA BUILD 005 Changelog:

- Changed: MiniPrint library source code (a modified/optimized version)
is now included as an integral part of HMG library. This code is
experimental and will be changed / optimized in the future. Please, do
not use these sources as an example of HMG programming, since some
techniques used there relies hardly on HMG internals and could be
non-stable or reliable applied to other environments (outside print
modules). The same applies to modifications to the code.

You don't need to use the "#include 'miniprint.ch'" anymore, but that
is supported for backwards compatibility.
Meaning that MiniPrint library, ceased to exist 10 years ago, so... which HMG version were you using?

I'm talking about your original code working with miniprint, in which HMG version it worked (prior to 3.3.1) ?
