Currently, we do development on Win95 PC's with NFS client software (eXceed) and keep sources on a Unix fileserver. I wrote some script wrappers to f45gen for fmt->fmb and back conversions, and use a combination of make and RCS to relatively painlessly checkin, checkout, build, etc.

Obviously, I could easily use perforce in this scheme, but it (my scheme) is a hack and I'd like something a little more integrated. Going to binary and the Perforce Windows GUI would seem to make it more painless and may be a good option.

However, I've always assumed I could diff the text fmt files to examine small changes, and at least get a clue about large changes, but I haven't needed to do so very much. But that capability is lost using binary. Does that concern you?

I'm currently doing this. I don't know that I have much to share. We have been storing everything in text format (fmt). Once we move to 98.2 we'll probably begin storing binaries directly. (98.2 supports compression of binary objects). Up until today we had been using the text client on Unix, copying things over to a NT pc, converting from text to binary, working on them, converting from binary to text, copying back and submitting them. I switched our forms developer over to the Windows GUI today. She's seems very pleased. The next step is to stop using the text format. I'm a little scared about this because I can't "see" it, but its Oracle's native format, and the text format is pretty worthless -- what are you going to do?

I want to use Perforce with Oracle Forms and Reports, and I wonder if anyone here has experience with that that they'd be willing to share.

Thanks,
