Hi Bob

I recommend you not integrate VSS with the VFP project manager. Just run VSS and switch between the two.

I also recommend you keep procedures/functions in separate PRGs instead of combining them into procedure libraries and to keep classes in separate classlibs as much as possible. That makes it easier to check stuff in and out and rollback changes. It also makes it easier to work with other developers.

It is almost twice as fast as the original (now 1.7 Mhz Centrino), a faster hard disk, and twice the RAM (now 1 GB). I reinstalled VFP7 and VSS, restored by project backups, etc. Now it takes an _hour_ to merely open the project and at least two hours to update the project. (Dunno, it is still working...)
