I also maintain some Clipper code (That's why SETEdit have syntax 
highlight for Clipper an find functions/procedures in Clipper code ;-).
I think that a Harbour version for DJGPP have more changes to fully 
implement things like CA-Tools that adds screen details very specific to 
text mode. Of course you can emulate text mode or use the Console API of 
Win32, but doing it over DOS you have more chance to get it 100 % 
compatible. But I don't know if you are really interested on it. I never 
tried Harbour because my Clipper programs heavily use CA-Tools and a 
library to extend DBF functionality drivers.
