It's not clear to me what this has to do with SourceSafe. Are you
talking about Windiff the commercial product or the diffing functions
of SourceSafe?

So, you're checking in text versions of DBFs into SourceSafe?

That's the technique the FoxPro integration uses for versioning SCX,
VCX, MNX, etc files.

I'm not sure what you're doing with file associations? Which config

case-insensitive OS, a real Windows bugaboo.
