- For those of you that may be interested, the beta test of my Macintosh
- GEDCOM to Tiny Tafel program is progressing well. There are currently
- 20 people on the distribution list. I really don't need any more. If
- you sent me mail but have not received at least one e-mail message
- from me it probably means the "From:" address in your mail was not
- replyable.
-
- I do have one problem that maybe someone on the net can help me with.
- To save time I copied a soundex subroutine out of some public domain
- software that I had access to. It turns out that the author did not
- read the "real" soundex specifications before he wrote the subroutine
- so it produces incorrect codes in some cases. I used to have a copy
- of the original Rand Corp. report that specifies soundex but can't
- find it at the moment. If someone can point me to a correct
- definition of soundex coding, I would appreciate it. Otherwise its a
- trip down to the UT library and a few hours digging through
- catalogues.
