Re: FormGrep - Search engine for Developer/2000 SQL*Forms 4.5

Please pardon my cynicism, but I have a question...

Why would someone pay $99 for this tool when any .FMB or .PLL can be generated as a text file (.FMT or .PLD respectively) through Forms 4.5? After converting to a text format the files can be searched using any typical editor/search utility including: grep, vi, emacs, notepad, etc.

Maybe my reasoning is off and I am missing something obvious. Then again, maybe not...
