- Tom Lincoln once wrote up a good review of Reunion, available in the
- NoDak archives, I believe. It has a wonderful interface, is customizable if
- you know Hypercard, and exports in GEDCOM, providing the compatibility the
- German poster was asking about. At $125, it's a little pricey, but was worth
- the money to me.
-
- Its charting utility will produce nice descendant and ancestor charts,
- but I'm still looking for something that will show all my cousins. But since I
- can export charts in PICT format, I could edit these myself with a standard
- graphics program to combine a few lines of interest.
-
- There is at least one file comparing genealogy software in the
- archives, but quite old, I believe. I don't remember how to get to these files
- right now, but if you don't know drop me a line and I'll help you find them.
