In the past I have used FOMA and TRmorph, as a building block and basis for Ottoman conversion. However I saw …

In programming, versioning your code files are of immense importance. Most of the files needs to be updated, renamed, merged constantly. You also need backups, as one learns through losing work due to various computer problems.
