>>>>>>>Good morning All,

>>>>>>>I have been looking at the SCCtext.prg and other enhanced versions. My wuesion is; has anyone created a reverse version? That is a version that actually takes a SCCtest generated text file and recreates the original binary DBF file. The source code indicates that it can, but it appears that only the DBC is the only one it can recreate. Has anyone enhanced the code to reverse the procedure to re-generate the original source?

Most other compare tools allow parameters as a command line option. When I pass arguments to the GKKcompare.app it appears to accept them without error. This gives me the impression that there maybe a parameter list. I located a PDF with general documentation for the GKKtools, but nothing specific to the single application themselves.

I was working with the source code and since I don't own it, I cannot post it here. However, I can give you an overview. I basically modified his main program to accept the parameters I needed and then determined which comparison to run (vcx, scx, prg, etc) based on what was passed in.

I would contact Greg and see if he has added that already himself.
