Not being able to use the same data files between ver 2.XX and 2.YY would be disappointing and would in theory necessitate a bump in the version number. The point I'm hopefully making in this suggestion is that if one does freeze 16-bit CFT-Win at 2.32, that no matter how many iterations and versions of the 32-bit CFT-Win95/98/NT occur, that there be a provision to as painlessly as possible move the data from that last 16-bit version to whatever the current 32-bit version might be. >Ver 3 is entirely different, however, and to migrate backwards from >Ver 3 to Ver 2 would necessitate a GEDCOM transfer. Can be done, but >won't be fun. Hmmm. I'm thinking along the lines of being able to import and merge data from a 16-bit laptop running CFT-Win Ver 2.32 to any and all future versions of CFT-Win, but let's look at a hypothetical bi-directional transfer. Say my "real" database is on your latest 32-bit version on a desktop PC. I'm going to visit my Great Aunt in Massachusetts and I want to take my 16-bit laptop and a handscanner to record and acquire data. The sequence would be: 1) GEDCOM out a snippet of the "real" database, relating to the family member I'm planning to visit or in whom I am interested, from the 32-bit desktop system. I just need enough fields from the selected records to know with which entries I'm dealing and to provide a reference (the record number) to support a merge going back the other way. 2) Create a dummy database in CFT-Win Ver 2.32 on the laptop and import the GEDCOM file. 3) Do the visit with the laptop and handscanner and scan in relevant certs and docs, and key-in some of those keen family stories. 4) Return home and merge the 2.32 database, complete with scanned images and such, with the "real" 32-bit database on the desktop system in such a way as to: a) retain the existing data in records common to both the slimmed down (reduced number of fields) Ver 2.XX file and the fleshed out 3.XX file, and b) retain the links between the "starter" records common to both the 2.XX and 3.XX versions and the new records, as well as between the new records themselves. >I suspect that even by another year or two the Win 3.1 laptops will >begin to become as extinct as DOS.

I don't know that the CFT-Win user base, especially that portion outside the US, has transitioned from Win3.1 -> Win95 in as radical a fashion as was seen with DOS -> Win 3.1, where there were a number of compelling reasons to upgrade. That doesn't mean that resources shouldn't be focused on continued application develop along only 32-bit OS lines. However, if and when a 16-bit user does upgrade, importing their existing data from that last 16-bit version to whatever the current 32-bit version is at the time should be made as painless as possible.

If I remember correctly, when Windows 95 was released, there was a program called Win32 (or something like that) that allowed Windows 3.1 to run 32 bit programs.

CFT-Win Ver 2 cannot use Hebrew. It forces uses the use of the Arial font for on-screen and the Lund fonts for reports. Ver 3 does allow a Hebrew if you created a new language and set the font to a Hebrew font. However, there are problems with the Note areas (RTF - TX OCX) and there you cannot use Hebrew if it is a Unicode font - but "may" (or may not) be able to use other (older) Hebrew fonts - I'm not sure. Of course Ver 3 is still in beta and a year away. I am hoping to get a update to TX by then so that Hebrew fonts can be included in notes.

I do think that the key problem is consistent with Ver 2. I am curious whether the key problem is solved in Ver3. The two versions of CFT-Win actually use two different versions of my programming language - with the Ver 3 using a newer programming environment. So I am wondering if the key thing was a bug in the programming environment - as I really had no control over it. Let me know if you see this cleared up in Ver 3. I would be interested in hearing your findings on this. Most people do use the mouse - but I am also one who has been a fast key typist and really would like to make all commands work with the keyboard - as you can see that even with the new Ver 3 look I have placed short tags under all buttons - the caret ^ means Ctrl. So if you see an underlined letter in a word it means use Alt and the letter, A. A caret ^ before the letter is to use Ctrl and the letter. No underline and no ^ means that the command is simply the first letter or it may be insert key, delete key or enter key.

Thanks Leonel ! This may very well be the cause of it. I definately have noticed that some things are case sensitive - and a search on my own Win95 system (which does work properly) does indicate that the registry entry is all in caps, though the font files themselves are in lower case but for the first letter. Perhaps some later versions of Win95 or Win98 or NT require the exact same case in the file as in the registry entry and something strange happens during the Explorer copy process where perhaps the fonts are forced upper or lower case while the file name is as I said. Anyway who is a bit more "registry" savy have any comments or ideas on this?

A message back from one of my distributors in the UK indicates that currently only 1% of sales is for Windows 3.1. Taking that as well as the comments posted here - I think I shall stop worrying about updating the Windows 3.1 - and even stop shipping extra Win 3.1 disks when the program is ordered. However, I will include a message that if they still need Win 3.1 then they can contact me for a copy. As far as I am concerned for program maintenance there is no functional differences between Windows 95, 98 and NT. They are all 32-bit Operating Systems and all 32-bit programs (including CFT-Win) works on all of them. Thanks for your input. Ira ---------------------------------------------------------- Ira J.
