I have found it useful to use XPJ to generate the initial VS projects for a code base that doesn't already have VS projects. I also find it nice to be able to see all of the config options in a flat, human readable file rather than a GUI, but this is certainly personal preference.</DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Mar 28, 2007, at 9:46 AM, Jeff Cohen wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"> It's not clear it offers any real benefits.
