Hi Paul,

If you have a license to Beyond Compare from Scooter Software, you can get an terrific add-on from Frank Perez that

diffs not only VCXs, but any of the VFP source code DBFs and naturally PRGs too. No need to pick up SCCText or any other

binary flattener for straight comparisons. It handles it for you.

Not sure I could do my job without this tool.

Hi all

I came across this in response to a message posted by Dominic Burford

Hi Dominic,

you can find an even more sophisticated version of SCCTEXT.prg on the ProLib FTP archives:

ftp://ftp.prolib.de/public/vfp/mwscctext.prg

This is an adopted version from Markus Winhard (hence the "mw"), which has all the changes from Mark Wilden plus several

other enhancements, like a much improved speed, a correct sorting of classes and methods, and more robust working.

However the FTP link does not work (it requires login credentials). However a bit of searching came up with

http://www.dfpug.de/Forum/catbody.afp?!_4U70VHTXU&nsec=10&cname=mwscctext.zip

Unfortunately the Download button on that page will not allow me to save the zip file.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Paul
