Hi all,

There is a new version of FoxBin2Prg at CodePlex:
https://vfpx.codeplex.com/releases/view/116407

And for those that don't know it:

What is FoxBin2Prg?
It is a program intended to be used with SCM tools (Source Code Managers, like VSS, CVS, SVN) and DVCS tools (like Git, Mercurial, Plastic, and others), or as standalone program for Diff (viewing differences) and Merge operations, that pretends to substitute SccText/X and TwoFox and enhance their functionality, generating bidirectional PRG-Style versions that allow recreating the original binary file.

Advantages:

* It generates "PRG" style programas (no compilables), for visual comparison
* It enables the change of the Text version as easy as modifying a PRG
* All the program code is in just one PRG, to simplify its maintainability
* With Text versions you can regenerate the original binaries, so it is useful as backup
* The extensions are configurable if you create the FOXBIN2PRG.CFG file
* Inheritance of CFG configuration files between directories
* Methods and properties of Text version are alphabetically sorted for easy comparison
* Can set "UseClassPerFile" setting to create individual files by class or DBC member
* Take adventage of the API using foxbin2prg as an object
* It has compatibility with SccText/X at parameter level so can be used as sustitute with SourceSafe
* Productivity: You can create a shortcut in the "SendTo" folder on your user Windows Profile, so you can "send" the selected file (pjx,pj2,etc) to Foxbin2prg.exe and make on-the-fly conversions
* Modify TX2 Prg-Style versions with MODIFY COMMAND (without compile) to see coloured syntax, or even use the Document View to navigate the procedures
* Get back your SourceSafe projects (.pjx) from their .pjm files

With this version, there is also a new version of the Extensions for using it with PlasticSCM:
