Maybe you can help, I cannot make heads nor tails of the info on vfpx about foxbin2prg.

I want to use it as a replacement for scctext in the VFP IDE. I have set the _scctext to foxbin2prg.prg, and I have changed the config file so the extensions are sca etc compatible with VSS. We use SourceOffSite, which is an Internet wrapper around VSS.

When we check in/out files from the VFP project IDE, foxbin2prg does nothing, it does not generate a .sca file as scctext would have. We cannot get the merge function to even appear, and I am not sure how to setup the diff.exe. This was all very simple with scctextx. Where have I gone off the rails?

Thanks
