>Good point about FoxBin2PRG, but I used to have the problem that it takes too long. I might have to tweak it, or the newer version is faster, I have to evaluate it again.

I've done an addon for FoxBin2Prg https://github.com/lscheffler/bin2text, it's on VFPX It tries do trace changes and only process files changed. for Bin2Text, but one could do for Text2Bin too.
