Juan, The last version, though I'm still working on a few things for the next one, is and will be at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vuCCZDSuuW-3zMj3nrYH3VQVTxGtg0dn/view?usp=sharing It's currently on my Google Drive. The file is an INNO installer, that copies the actual Notepad++ UDL Installer to a directory of your choice via the INNNO interface. Then you run the UDL installer from the Link it installs in the Windows->Programs->dBASEUDLInstaller folder. There is at least one file in there, that needs to write to the Notepad++ Programs folder, so it is best to run it as Administrator when installing it, just so you're aware. I'll be the first to admit that my interface for the installer can be a little confusing, but it works and does what it's supposed to. You'll need, as I just mentioned, Notepad++ already installed for it to set it up, but if you don't have it installed, it will notify you and allow you to cancel the installation. Most of the notes during development and any announced updates are in the d.third-party-tools newsgroup thread, that any questions you have may be able to be answered there. In time, I may be able to switch this stuff to my github account, but I'm not real comfortable with using it just yet, so I'll have to keep any questions/support to these newsgroups for the time being. Since you're familiar with Notepad++, you'll probably be able to implement a lot of additional functionality to improve the UDL package for your own purposes. With the plugins available for Notepad++, you should be able to customize it rather easily, if you have Python experience/capability as it has a PythonScript plugin that allows customizations of a lot of the internal functionality within NPP without having to modify NPP's underlying C++ code. Currently, I'm trying to learn how to get using the NPP dBASE UDL package, to show inside of OBS Studio so I can make a demonstration video to help ease some of the things that need to be done to allow less informed users to change things and see how to use the package within NPP, in addition to explain the clumsy interface of mine. :) Anyway, if you have any questions, confusion or problems, please let me know in these forums and I'll see if there is anything I can answer or fix.

We will do a test with the UDL you say. Where can you get the latest version of the UDL? Thank you > <snip> | |
