A silly question:
someone knows why by convention the Harbour/Clipper classes generally use the prefix T in the name ?
e.g. TBrowse
PD: in C++, Java, etc. by convention the prefix in the name of classes is C ("C"lass).
Harbour/Clipper classes name

Re: Harbour/Clipper classes name
I am not sure and it's just a speculation, but the same thing was happening in Delphi when i was using that.All the classes were being used with the "T" in front.
Maybe it comes from T for type? So TBrowse = object of Type Browse.
Anyway its just my random thought

Thanks Friends.
Re: Harbour/Clipper classes name
It comes from Borland compiler's GUI framework.
Some early clipper clones like C3 emulated that class hierachy.
