May be I lost something, but Isn't it Blind for this? (I have never use
it but is should do work here)

We have same problem. In Borland there is some configuration files for
project containing for forms. As I use 2 monitor on station a 1 motitor
on laptop, is hard to keep form position in not anoying state. I manualy
check if there are changes only of position or also in other settings.
Most anoying thing was about DEBUG and RELASE. We have found that best
way is: Before commit make relase build and test it and commit after that.

I plane test use hookscripts ....
Is there any good manual? for client and server version?
Is posible to use version control on this client script with project?
When I set any skript for precommit will this setting be send by commit
(so other developer will use same script)?
