Let's take forms. I use the scctextx.prg in the home() folder to

generate the text version of forms and classes. I have the scx/sct/txt

in a forms folder and before I check in any changes I have a program

called genform, which checks the forms folder to see if there is a txt

file older than the scx file. If so generate a new one. I never do the

conversion back from txt to scx/t as I back up all three files at the

same time. Being able to do diffs with the txt file is very useful as

sometimes you forget which bits of a form you changed. Also started

using GIT recently and you can see at a glance what has changed.

That program can do menus/labels/reports to text but don't bother with

them at the moment.
