Hi: I've read this thread <http://leafe.com/archives/full_thread/498154> late (same title, 2 months ago), but hope not too late.
>From time to time I read that some people keep using old tools which can not take advantage of old or modern SCM/DVCS tools. In this case, I see that some people keep using TwoFox for converting tables to XML (I've used it back in 2009), and I ask myself why having tools that can convert VFP 9 binaries to prg-style programs, can someone stay with XMLs, that have nothing to do with VFP programming or VFP code. I think that this is just a problem of don't knowing the available options, and to bring some help on the matter I want you to know that from the end of 2013 there is a new tool that replace SccText/X and TwoFox, called FoxBin2Prg and hosted on VFPx: https://vfpx.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=FoxBin2Prg There is documentation available on the link I've provided to explain and show why you should be using it. As far I can tell, this is the only tool that can convert forms, classes, menus, reports, labels, tables and databases to text, allowing their modification, and regenerate the binaries again. This means that you can not only Diff, but Merge text files viewing them as if you coded in prgs. Right now there are people using this two-way conversion tool with SourceSafe, git, PlasticSCM and some others, and in the last version (thanks to people advice and ideas), there is an enhanced API that allow you make your own processes. Hope you can take a look and find it useful, Fernando D.
