Here's a messae from CompuServe on the plans for FiveWin and Xbase++:

Sb: #3290-Fivewin++
Fm: Antonio Linares 100114,1776
>Lets see if I understood you correctly.  Are you saying that my
Clipper 5 + FiveWin 1.9.2 application for 16 bit can be compiled/linked
with xBase++/FiveWin UNCHANGED for a 32 bit application ?
>
YES!!! We have already built a FiveWin 32 bits DLL (using Alaska XBase++
and Borland C compiler 32 bits) that contains the entire FiveWin
library, and that it is already working like a champ with existing
FiveWin samples !!!
YES!!! UNCHANGED source code!!! Just a minor little things to fix, like
3D clause (XBase++ refuse it) that has to be renamed into _3D. But that
is all! (I am 100% serious). There is a new FiveWin.ch (and also a new
Objects.ch), and a new ClipApi.h for your C source code (in case you
have some).
Just recompile your app and you are ready to go!!! Exactly the same
FiveWin source code is full compatible Clipper and XBase++. 100% !!! We
are just keeping here _ONE_SET_ of source code (PRGs and C modules) for
both of our products. This is what really gave us the advantage. One set
of source
code --> 16 and 32 bits products.
>
    If not, could you be VERY SPECIFIC on exactly what will be taking
place in the future with FiveWin.  Your announcements to date have many
of us VERY confused.
>
We are practically ready to deliver FiveWin 1.9.5 that has been modified
already to be 100% Alaska XBase++ compatible. So you have a Five.lib,
FiveC.lib, Objects.lib and WinApi.lib for your 16 bits Clipper+FiveWin
applications, and a Five32rt.dll and Five32rt.lib for your XBase++ +
FiveWin 32 bits version.
Just to give you an idea: The traditional IDE is provided with FiveWin
is _already_ working 32 bits with _NO_ source code changes at all.
We plan to start uploading first demos next week. Yes, NEXT WEEK!!!

Looks quite promising!
