Must visit sites with valuable Harbour docs and more...

  • Harbour Reference Guide!
    ▸ it's not complete, (it hardly could be, given the great volume of harbour-project, i.e., language elements, commands/fucntions, preprocessor, compiler, contrib libriaries, make tool, et.c.) but finally is there, and after a heavy re-engineering by Viktor, now it has some very nice features one of which is the ability for volunteers to create new (or edit the existing) documentation...

  • Clipper - Norton Guides
    ▸ Harbour is 100% backward compatible with Clipper, which means it includes all legacy functions with identical names, same syntax and functionality. Hence, this online Guide To CA-Clipper is a good way to get help for all those functions.
    ▸ Alternatively, look here.
    ▸ Also, here you can find plenty of useful content for CA-Clipper Tools, Nanform Toolkit and more...

  • Harbour for beginners (by Alexander Kresin)
    ▸ don't be misled by the "beginners" of the title! Alexander's page is an essential "must-read!", for any serious harbour programmer.

  • Sandbox (by Juan Luis Gamero)
    ▸ full of valuable docs, highly recommended! In fact, it was the spark-lit that motivated the creation of this dictionary, as well as, a rich source of documentation resources, parts of which have been used here.

  • "Welcome to Harbour" (by Viktor Szakats)
    ▸ this is a great source of high-quality info about Harbour-project evolution (language & compiler) and deployment (installation/build/usage et.c.), although some of the info cited there may not apply to official Harbour (3.2) version.

  • A Harbour Project How-To
    "A gentle introduction to an open-source implementation of the Clipper language"
    An interesting article dated back at very early stage of Harbour (April 2000 :!:). It's being cited here for historic reasons (or as it's said, “to let the younger know, and the elders to remember.”).

Mailing Lists

  • Harbour Users' Mailing List (English language)
    ▸ Got questions? you might want to post a message there; chances are you get one or more good answers. 🤓
    ▸ and here is the old list on Mail-Archive, possibly useful when searcing answers for already asked questions... --also there you can read a somehow "intense" thread, regarding Harbour documentation (and judging from the nearly null result, was not a really productive one). 😉 ▸ Now you can use Harbour Google Groups Messages Search engine to search for messages posted on google mailing list.

the sunset's small sailing boat Harbour Functions Dictionary   Many of the entries presented in this wiki, have been obtained from various sources (see References); however, a good number of them have been written «from scratch» (or rewritten/corrected), particularly those referring to newer Harbour functions. Anyway, it's a 'work in progress', so there might be omissions, oversights and / or errors. That said, any suggestion/correction/comment are more than welcome --many thanks, to those few who already have made contributions!
