Hi everybody:
I'm developing an Open Source replacement for the old and good SCCTEXT, but with 2-way convertion of Visual FoxPro 9 binary files.
My goal is to provide a tool that generates a text representation that be almost a PRG to the programmer to be used with SCM tools like Subversion, CVS, Plastic, SourceSafe, and others for Diff and Merge operations, so he/she don't need to bother of rare tokens and heavy markup that complicates the analisys of what they are looking and facilitates that operations on binary files at real time.
I've just released the v1.15 of foxbin2prg that supports this binary types:
- PJX, VCX, SCX, FRX, LBX, DBF. DBC
Use is more simple than scctext, simply:
DO FOXBIN2PRG.PRG WITH "c:\dev\foxpro\forms\*.scx" ==> Convert all SCX to SC2 using the PRG version
or
FOXBIN2PRG.EXE "c:\dev\foxpro\project.pjx" ==> Convert just 1 file using the EXE version
