# FoxBin2Prg v1.19.xx - Binary/Text Converting program for Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9
![](https://vfpx.github.io/images/vfpxbanner_small.gif)
## <span style="background-color: gold;">This fork</span>
<span style="background-color: lemonchiffon;"> This is a fork of [Fernando D. Bozzo](https://github.com/fdbozzo) [foxbin2prg](https://github.com/fdbozzo/foxbin2prg/).
It's main purpose it's to fix some bugs and recreate the documentation this project had on CodePlex.
There was a need of some functionality too. Some off the mods may ore may not seen as bug fixes. </span>
<span style="background-color: lemonchiffon;"> To get the new settings in config file, use the new create-a-template function:</span>
```
DO FOXBIN2PRG.PRG WITH "-c","template.cfg" ==> Generates a template for FoxBin2Prg.cfg config file with newest settings
DO FOXBIN2PRG.PRG WITH "-t","template.dbf.cfg" ==> Generates a template for table.dbf.cfg per table config file with newest settings
```
<span style="background-color: lemonchiffon;"> The major break is the split of the handling of DBC from VCX/SCX.
If DBC's where splited into single files using _UseClassPerFile_,
the new settings around _UseFilesPerDBC_ must be used. See [Intenals](./Documentacion/github/FoxBin2prg_Internals.md#configuration-file).
<span style="background-color: lemonchiffon;"> The function _DBF_BinChar_Base64: 0_ must be handled with care too.
Tables must converted to _Text_ according. **It's not recommended for running projects.**</span>
<span style="background-color: lemonchiffon;">The data added by _DBF_IncludeDeleted: 1_ will be ignored by old versions.
</span>
<span style="background-color: lemonchiffon;"> It's a good idea to have the FoxBin2Prg.cfg per projekt and and source control anyway, old commits / versions would have the old config.
So teh settings would fit the data.</span>
### <span style="background-color: gold;">Fixes (fixes only are in the fork branch of this repo)</span>
| Details |
| - |
| conversion prg -> vcx, files per class could create one class multiple times |
| processing directory, flush log file after loop instead of file |
| conversion prg -> dbf, fields with .NULL. value are incorectly recreated |
| minor translations |
| conversion dbf -> prg, error if only test mode (toFoxBin2Prg.l_ProcessFiles is false) |
### <span style="background-color: gold;">Mods</span>
| Details |
| - |
| Documentation from CodePlex integrated |
| German translation improved |

| inserted option RedirectFilePerDBCToMain to split DBC processing from vcx / scx |
| inserted option UseFilesPerDBC to split DBC processing from vcx / scx |
