>I've been planning to take a look at your "Bin 2 Text Extension". We don't use the project manager here. I'm hoping to make this really simple for our team. Are you using Plastic SCM?

I use plain git.
It does all I need. It needs a bit of thinking in new ways, but it's not that tricky. And I do not need additional tools. (And it will work under linux without any change of thinking.)

What I can not do with my extension is to start FoxBin2PRG for distinct class(libs). It's all about whole project. I try to trace the changes so I can minimize the binaries to convert.
Basically it's to do fast git commit in a sense of backup (in git this will not bloat the data on a server)
I've added some stuff to run the converter both ways for PJX's from a menu.
All stuff like merging etc I do on git level, so this is not "integrated".
