Documentation of FoxBin2Prg - A Binary to Text converter for MS Visual Foxpro 9
List of Changes, Bugfixes and modifications.
For settings, API and other realted stuff see Internals.
The original document was created by Fernando D. Bozzo whom I like to thank for the great project.
Pictures are taken from the original project.
As far as possible these are the original documents. Changes are added where functionality is changed.
The older links point to Fernandos repository.
For recent verisons see
FoxBin2PRG
This page is not only to get the history of the changes, but to keep a permanent list of people that have contributed to enhance FoxBin2Prg and that I feel as part of the ADN of this tool.
It's my way of thanking them for their contribution.
