The FTN95 Projects all use absolute paths for source and include files.
Is there any way of changing this to use relative paths?

I have to edit the (ftn95p) project files by hand - inserting the relative path and setting "ProjRelPath" = "T"

cheers

In Plato, if a source file is found in the same folder as the <project>.ftn95p file then the relative path is saved. Otherwise the absolute path is saved. So the thing to do is to keep all of the source files in the "project" folder. If this is not possible then....

Plato and Visual Studio have a common project file format so you can use the same project file in Visual Studio.
Visual Studio may be cleverer than Plato so if, for example, you want to move a project, it may be possible to save it as a Visual Studio project, move it as a Visual Studio project and then finally re-open it as a Plato project.
