Aihe: Re: [DNG] Harbour programming language
Thanks Ismael,

I've used Lazarus. I wrote my own alarm clock application in Lazarus as
well as a video adaptation of that game with 15 squares in a 4x4 board,
moving squares into blanks until the squares are in numerical order.
I've had problems with the complication of my control over the location
of unit files I create. I've had problems with mysterious inability to
change a font. I've had trouble implementing database operations in
Lazarus.

And I think that Harbour is a much better shellscript substitute than
Pascal. MUCH better.

But yes, Lazarus has a lot of potential for Rapid Application
Development (RAD), so thanks for reminding me of it.
