It's a different angle of attack that's for sure. Plus that must be a bonus not having to worry about if the files are getting marked for generation. This is the only problem I have with scX, well it's not really a problem for me as I have every faith in it (being that I have screwed some of the code up for Paul <BG>), its more of a problem for the masses.
There are positive and negatives for the VFP code file format being tables, personally I see it as a pain in the arse, but there is no point complaining as its not going to change.

I never came around to, even though I downloaded several versions. From what I heard from others it's very solid and well working. The reason I wrote my own tool is that I used CVS and TwoFox before Paul published scX. > I didn't see any references to a project hook in order to make it easier to to do all the xmlgen for you. I don't use a project hook because I don't trust them. <s> I always would fear that the project hook went away (CLEAR ALL, etc.) and my files wouldn't be converted after I editied them. Guess with age comes paranoia. <g> scX generates text files as you work (if I'm not mistaken). TwoFox only does so when you call it which is usually the case when you either commit changes or want to diff files. Normally this is no more than a few dozens time a day. Considering that it takes only seconds to go through most projects (3 seconds for tastrade.pjx on my machine) that was fast enough for me. A commit requires me to view the differences of all modified files, write a sensisble comment for the change log and preferably run the unit test. All these tasks take longer than generating text files. Just in case... xmlGen runs through the entire project. You only have to call it once per project, not once for every modified file. Files that haven't been modified are skipped automatically. -- Christof [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
