Major: Whenever entering Edit Key Individual of Current Family for a living person, the open window fails to show the Living Flag on and this results in that person being declared DEAD when the window is closed. (For me, a check means Living.) This means that each time one enters Edit Key Indivudual one must reset the flag. This never happened in prior versions. Minor: Changes of X-pos and Y-pos are properly saved in CFTW.INI but fail to show the values set there when CFTW is opened. This mean one now has to move the main window on the screen to the position desired each time that CFTW is opened. This never happened in prior versions.

I am just wondering what has happened to the living flag. Every time I enter the Edit window for a person, the living flag is unchecked. If we just enter the edit window for a living person and leave it without doing anything, the person comes out dead. It happens to my database and it happens to the Sample database. You can try it out using the Sample database. Ira comes up alive. If you then enter the edit window and leave at once, he is dead. But I really hope he is still alive!! A new bug - isn't it?

Vic, you are probably receiving messages written in HTML and evidently don't use an email browser that will accept this format.

Ira, This may be a dumb question, but I will ask it anyway. I have a registered version of 2.27. If I download and install version 2.28, do I still have to pay to register it all over again in 45 days? Chuck Ira J.

I'm having a problem with the relationship calculator "hanging". With some IRN's it calculates instantly, with others it hangs and I have to use the Windows' End Task function to clear it which also dumps me out of the program. I tried rebuilding the database and still have the problem. The IRN's are related, but even if they weren't I'm sure it would display the message that they aren't related instead of hanging. What could be wrong?
Ah yes. The program can only calculate "blood" relationships. Your grand-aunt in this case is only aunt because of marriage to your grand-uncle. Not sure when I might add that feature. It's a bit more complicated than you might suspect. Ira At 12:30 PM 2/14/98 -0600, you wrote: >At 04:48 PM 2/12/98 -0600, you wrote: >>??? Not sure what you mean here.

Ooooh, Alton, you're going to give Ira ulcers over this one. Following your logic, one would also be able to find the relationship of GrandAunt Jane Smith's 6th cousin, twice removed, in another branch of her family. Isn't this just a little out of the realm of both the necessary and the desired in a genealogy program? Heck, if you know your relationship to GrandUncle Robert Roberts, is interpolating that his wife is your GrandAunt by marriage difficult?

Floyd, I was just thinking of sending a query to this List and others which I manage and asking how many users now have HTML-capable email browsers. I have been using Eudora Pro for Win95 and it is one of the independent browsers which now have that capability. Of course, AOL, MSIE, Netscape, and several others have always had this capability, but only recently have the independent browsers added this function. I, for one, love it and sometimes am tempted to make something bold or in italics, or underlined, or even in slightly larger fontsize for emphasis. Although it will never be a requirement for using this or any other mailing list, I do believe HTML-capable browsers are the wave of the future -- so why not upgrade now. It's really hard to have such a program and NOT use its full capabilities. In HTML, the format is truly wonderful.
