thank you for this project, it seems it could solve many problems we have at this time in developement of our application.
So I tried your fox2bin in version 1.9.23 on our project.
First I converted all files to txt and then regenerated the bin files without changing anything.
Unfortunately this ended in a few *.ERR files and this broke the build. Some ERR files are on DBF's and some on VCX/SCX.
As an example:
1) VCX/SCX
Error 1098, No se ha encontrado el marcador de fin [ENDT] que cierra al marcador de inicio [TEXT] de la línea 12535
identificarbloquesdeexclusion, 3376
ERROR (TEXTMERGE(C_END_MARKER_NOT_FOUND_LOC))
2) DBF
Error 1976, Cannot resolve backlink.
convertir, 10709
USE (.c_InputFile) SHARED AGAIN NOUPDATE ALIAS TABLABIN
Error 12, Variable 'ABNEHMERSEGMENT' is not found.
convertir, 10709
USE (.c_InputFile) SHARED AGAIN NOUPDATE ALIAS TABLABIN
Adittional information to point 1. In this VCX/SCX are CREATE CURSOR statements which include a field named "text".

Hi Mario:
I need to know some basic info setup first:
a) Are you using the EXE version or the PRG version? The EXE version have all needed files inside, but the PRG version needs all the props*.txt files and the include directory
b) As explained in the README.txt file, English section, you can localize the messages in english just renaming foxbin2prg_en.h to foxbin2prg.h and recompiling the EXE using the included foxbin2prg.pjx project, so the messages are useful to you
c) In any case, foxbin2prg.cfg config file needs to be present in the same directory you have the EXE or PRG version of FoxBin2Prg
Now, about the errors:
1) VCX/SCX:
In this case it seems that the parser is confused by the way you have positioned the "text" named field with the TEXT/ENDTEXT structure (and is looking for the ENDTEXT)
As this is a real case, can you, please, copy this CREATE CURSOR statement exactly as it appears on your program, so I can analyze it and enhance the TEXT/ENDTEXT recognition?
2) DBF:
2.a) Can you attach the DB2 and the corresponding DC2 files, so I can analyze them?
2.b) The error mention a 'ABNEHMERSEGMENT' variable. Is this a real variable or is an external file?
