I would expect the behavior to be the same with PVCS because my understanding is the VFP just calls an API provided by the source control software to store and retrieve files. I would expect it to store the same files either way. If you access your controlled files directly through PVCS do you not see VCX/VCT files?

>>>Then you're losing some of the capabilities of source control. VFP is slow because it converts to/from the text file when you check in/out. If you don't do it through VFP you check in/out the binary files, which greatly increases your storage space. With text files, VSS & PVCS both store just the delta code.
