Coming from a windows VFP environment I feel the pain these guys are feeling. Like them I had no idea what/how/why SVN helped. Oh I had heard of visual safe source - but I knew it did not work with VFP (it sort of worked - badly). The only other thing was something called PCS 100 years ago. Anyway, I'll try to write something to help others like myself and post it or have someone review what I write. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users
