xHarbour's newsgroup subscription
How to manage your subscription to xHarbour's newsgroups.
We at xHarbour.com know that support is very important for all professional programmers. To
meet these support demands, we have set up a support newsgroup at xHarbour.com. xHarbour
Builder customers can access this newsgroup to
post questions and/or bug reports
. Access is
free for 30 days from your purchase date and remains
in effect for as long as you maintain your xHarbour Service Updates Subscription.
xHarbour.com's Technical Support Newsgroup should provide you with the fastest response time
to any xHarbour related issue you may encounter.

Please note: We are unable to offer any technical support by means of private email. Using our
newsgroup also serves a secondary purpose of answering similar questions of other customers.
