    Is there a discussion group somewhere?

    xHarbour is alive and kicking! :-)

    The group (although I wrote many messages here in the last month) is
    dead since Google Group has dropped Usenet. Maybe people didn't realize
    yet that they have to use a Usenet client (like Thunderbird) and a news
    server (like eternal-september.org). :-(

    Hi Enrico Maria, thanks for the reply!

    It would be helpful to update the support instructions on xharbour.org
    which still points to google groups.
    Also xhabour.com still tries to embed the google group which is no
    longer supported.

    It is my pleasure!

    You are absolutely right! Thank you for pointing that out! Tomorrow I
    will see how to fix it.

    Also xhabour.com still tries to embed the google group which is no
    longer supported.

    Sorry, I can't do anything as I haven't access to xharbour.com.

    Hi Enrico

    Thank you for the effort you are doing maintaining the site and the
    whole xHarbour project.

    In the left side of xharbour.org site, where the "Required Tools"
    appear, there is a link for MINGW compiler that gives an error: "502 Bad Gateway".
    The link points to https://osdn.net/projects/mingw

    A better choice could be to point every link "exactly" to the download
    site.
    Embarcadero's site is big enough for anyone and could be hard to get the
    proper compiler.

    Also, an explanation of how to install them would be useful, but this is another story.

    Regards

    Thank you. Unfortunately, I can't find the correct url. Even Wikipedia
    points to that address. Maybe it is temporary down? Or anybody knows the
    new MinGW url?

    Ok, I changed the Embarcadero url, please check.
