- Hi rooters,
- I just found this newsgroup and after browsing through some 100 articles
- it seems to me a very nice and kind place....
- My points:
-
- Mac Software Compatibility:
- I got a MacIntosh PB recently and just starting to learn and experiment
- with the vast amount of software. One of my puzzles is the compatibility:
- F.i. I found several programms (sorry, applications) and Hypercard stacks
- dealing with genealogy. From what I saw and heard the PAF seems to be the
- most allround system and I saw anotherone mentioned: BK (?)
- I dont want to purchase any packadge now (see below) and I fear that I will
- waste time if I start entering data into one of the other programms (sorry,
- applications) now, because I know nothing about compatibility ?
- Once I have typed in all my data and would find the PAF (or whatever) to
- suit me much better, do I have a chance of just transferring the data ?
-
- Programm (sorry, application) - FAQ:
- I am certainly not the first one to ask about a review and comparison
- of the software that is available. Someone collected those 'reviews' ?
-
- I am looking for features like to produce nice trees for gifts as my father's
- silables (sp?) are in that age of 55 60 65 75 ....
- And of course it should allow (unlimited) storage of additional information
- per person or family.
-
- Germany:
- I am from Germany and will return early 1993. That's why I dont want
- to order big manuals now and carry them then...
- I saw a lot of Germany related questions in the recent postings
- and just thought I might be able to help (from when I am back).
- Well, I am not a genealogy freak, but an address or so should be no problem.
-
- regards
- Martin
