>>I have considered it but have found it difficult to navigate. Not to mention the volume of my project is large and has been changing offend. I have intended to update the download page as offend as I can with a history of corrections list. Can you suggest any web pages to better educate me on how to use GitHub?

If you go that route and you prefer not to convert your SCX/VCX files to text before committing them, be aware that I've written an add-on for SourceTree that lets you use Beyond Compare on those files.

Thank you very much. I am using Beyond Compare with FoxBin2Prg.app to generate comparable files.

Besides, I have developed a Hotkey to Clone the last backup (BAK) file as a version control. These are stored in my Google Drive folder. A simple Alt+C and the PRG/SCX/VCX is archived. Both the current and the last backup of the source are persevered.
