WARNING for XHB contrib users
=============================

This contrib is deprecated and not maintained anymore.

This was originally meant as a temporary stop-gap solution to help migrating
existing code written for xHarbour to Harbour, plus a means of documenting
the differences between these two branches of the language. The recommended
path is to gradually migrate to use native core Harbour functions and core
language elements, then finalize that process by dropping the need for this
library.

Linking this library and/or using its headers (`hbcompat.ch` and `xhb.ch` in
particular) may cause various unintended side-effects both at compilation
and runtime.

Most of this code is also never tested by this fork, and none of it is ever
used, so the chances of bugs is higher than in other parts of Harbour.

If you cannot do without some parts of this code, feel free to fork it locally
or publicly and continue maintaining it there, otherwise try switching to
core Harbour functionality ASAP.
