    3. I have just visited the page. There is an English translation, so you don't have to understand Norwegian. If you press the English flag, you will be sent to the English session. If you from there press the Windows-Table you can read it all in English. But the English links are as follows: http://www.sn.no/disnorge/ny1/Programe.htm http://www.sn.no/disnorge/ny1/Windowse.htm Be aware that the minimum requirements are those marked with an red asterisk and not the others. The functions available in the programs are those marked with a cross. The crosses are supposed to come from the program developers - that means you as far as CFTW is concerned - if I understand the situation correctly. As far as I know CFTW, there are a few mistakes: "3.8. RTF format on all reports for export to word processor?" CFTW does not have that yet, but the table says so. " 4.2. Producing a list of all info. that were not imported?" The table says yes, but that is wrong as far as I know. CFTW does not produce a log file listing the unrecognized information for the different individuals during gedcom import. Most programs do that. "5.4. Norwegian direct in all printouts 100%?" The table says no, but as far as I know the answer is yes - or what? According to the table, CFTW comes short on the following points to be among the recommended programs: "3.2. Descendant report in list form with children and marriages? 1) " Explanation 1) you will find below the table and goes like this: "1) Decendant report in list form; Based on one person all direct are listed. Decendant report incl. children/marriages; in addition to all direct decendants also complete lit of children and their marriages per generation can be listed." This English does not look very well (with some mis-spellings) and I don't understand what kind of report they are talking about. "3.3. Ancestor report in listform? 2)" "3.4. Ancestor report with graphic boxes and optional content? 2)" Explanation 2) is also below the table and goes like this: "2) Ancestor report in list form; Based on one person all direct ancestors are listed. With free content; in addition the possiibility to choos which events to show per person" (The quoted English is not mine!) Even if the table says that CFTW fulfill those requirements, according to my knowledge it does not because it is not possible to choose which events to include in the Ancestor Story report. "4.2. Producing a list of all info. that were not imported?" "4.3. Warning if the import is merging with existing file?" Regards Sigurd Eliassen Norway
