=== Get the Hammer 3.0 beta ===

We try to supply a daily development zip bundle that contains everything you need to compile and run.
You do not need anything else as this zip to run and test.

You can find it here:
http://projects.vdf-guidance.com/projects/hammer/files 

Download the file that has a filename like:
Hammer3-development-beta-2017mmdd.zip
where mm=month and dd=day of the date we created the snapshot of our development files.

The preview is still in beta stage, but a lot of the real issues have been taken care of. 
To illustrate I am now using The Hammer 3 in my daily code editing so we're certainly getting closer to real release.

In there you'll find a workspace that can let you build hammer3.

Earlier versions of the preview have let you switch between using the codemax control and the scintilla editing control by using a 
compiler directive. As the scintilla control is working very well we have removed ALL of the codemax support as it simplifies the
code and helps us to move forward faster.

If you want to compile Hammer 3.0 then use one of the Hammer3.xx.sws workspace files.
You should select Hammer3.src to compile.
You can use Hammer3-182.src to compile for DF18.2, Hammer3-190.src to compile for DF19.0 etcetera.

Currently the lowest supported version of DataFlex that you can use to compile it with is DF18.1.
If you need to use cConnection logic then you should compile using DataFlex 19.x or higher.

The Hammer itself however is made to work with ALL versions of DataFlex, we just don't want to have to miss out on all the great
improvements in DataFlex for our development on the Hammer itself.

IMPORTANT: If you unzip the Hammer on an older version of the Hammer then you will have problems. Main issue is the file "Codemaxedit<username>.ini" 
in the data folder. Where <username> is your user/computer name.
Please remove (or rename) that file! You'll get all kind of errors on misbehavior if you leave an version of that file in place.
Actually EVERY time the CODEMAXEDIT.INI file in the program's folder gets updated you should remove that preferences file. 
Yes this is a pain, sorry.

2017-08-12 Codemax support has been COMPLETELY removed!

2017-05-02 Note that this workspace also used to contain a Hammer2 version, this has now been removed! 

=== Get the Hammer via Subversion ===

In order to check out a working copy of The Hammer 3.0 need to add some files 
that are not versioned. 
Data Files that contain knowledge about DataFlex are not under source control.
You should get a zip (see above) first and then update via subversion on top of those files.

The Hammer will not run without those data files!
