# Purpose of this document
This document is an attempt to recreate the original documentation of FoxBin2Prg out of CodePlex.
I found the documentation on [foxbin2prg](https://github.com/fdbozzo/foxbin2prg/blob/master/README.md) a bit brief. For a short what and why, see there.
# Use with SCM

The original document was created by [Fernando D. Bozzo](https://github.com/fdbozzo) whom I like to thank for the great project. Pictures are taken from the original project.

## A short mention on SourceSafe
For those who keep using it, I recommend running away from it to any other modern SCM out there.
Main reason is that Microsoft doesn't support it anymore,
which last version was released in 2005 (Visual SourceSafe 2005, that many people didn't know of) and a lot of people keep using the version that came with Visual Studio 6, released in 1998! (more or less).
