No, but I see cynicism is a great trait on this list. Apparently everyone else is allowed to express their opinion? "D.

Hi, all: I am using FO 7.01. Does anyone know a way of changing the record of an individual after that i. has been added to the DB ? Thanks, Marilyn

OK, guys, this has gone on WAAAAAY too long. 99.99% of the other lists I subscribe to DO NOT allow virus warnings, for exactly this reason. Please, STOP!!! Thanks, Sandy

Highlight that person, go to the edit menu and select Unlink, select from Parents or Spouse, usually it is a double link to a spouse, then break one of the links. If he is only listed once in the explorer, that should be all you need to do. If he were listed more than once, you would have to delete one instance or merge the two instances of him.

I inadvertently duplicated a person and all his links. How do I get rid of this duplication. My "Individual List" only shows him once. Dave Johnson

I made some adjustments to the database made with Family Origins, and added double and triple images after some surnames. Look for the camera icons if viewing. AOLPress dropped some code, other than that, it went well. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~darci/notes/wistory/wistory.htm Darci

Carolyn, Apparently you are trying to do a disk-spanning backup to your hard drive. Your hard drive is a non-removable disk. The disk spanning backup is meant for backups to diskettes and other portable (removable) disks. If you want to backup to your hard drive or if you are sure your backup will fit on one diskette then you have to select "single disk compressed backup". If you want to backup to a diskette (which might require more than one diskette) then you need to select "disk spanning backup" and be sure to specify the save location as a removable disk drive such as your A: (diskette) drive.

I am using FOW 8.0. When I want to back up a large database and disk spanning back up I get a pop us that saysDYNA ZIPZIP error. Says Target media is Non-REmoveable and can not be used for a multi Volume operation. How did I get this and how do I get rid of it. I was using it and everything was ok. Carolyn Nelson

We're all geared up for virus' and fear grips us when we hear of one because we know that McAfee and Norton simply cannot be on top of all of them on the onset. And so, that's how people, who are just as vicious as a virus generator, make us panic and do things we wouldn't normally do. What is so unfortunate is that people who really care about people and want to warn others of impending danger all of a sudden become part of the hoax and usually unknowingly. We need to get more educated, remain calm, investigate, and then move forward. Perhaps many of those who informed us this was a hoax could develop a list of good places to go to make that determination and then periodically publish it on the mailing list so all new subscribers are also educated. Further, now that many innocent people have wiped out a perfectly good (and in many cases probably needed) program is there someone out there who can tell them where t! o get the program and how to install it - besides just saying go to a recovery disk or call Microsoft.

I thought this list was for FO, far too many messages about virus or windows problems.....

I keep reading "FOW" in many of the e-mails from the mail list. Please tell me what FOW stands for.

gretasgarden wrote: > I keep reading "FOW" in many of the e-mails from the mail list. > > Please tell me what FOW stands for. ====================== It stands for "Family Origins for Windows". The first version of FO for Windows was version 3.0, and if I remember correctly there was also a version 3.0 for Dos. (At least versions 1 and 2 were Dos versions.) The Dos versions went away several years ago, but old habits in what they were called to tell them apart kind of sticks around. Jim

WHAT IS A VET? Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them: a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity. Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a vet just by looking. WHAT IS A VET? He is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel. He is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 38th parallel. She - or he - is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang. He is the POW who went away one person and came back another - or didn't come back at all. He is the Quantico drill instructor who has never seen combat - but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-account rednecks and gang members into Marines, and teaching them to watch each other's backs. He is the parade - riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand. He is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by. He is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns, whose presence at the Arlington National Cemetery must forever preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor dies unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's sunless deep. He is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket palsied now and aggravatingly slow - who helped liberate a Nazi death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come. He is an ordinary and yet an extraordinary human being - a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs. He is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and he is nothing more than the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known. So remember, each time you see someone who has served our country, just lean over and say Thank You. That's all most people need, and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they could have been awarded or were awarded. Two little words that mean a lot, "THANK YOU". Remember May 28 Memorial Day "It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag, And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the flag."

David, perhaps you need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills a bit. I was replying to someone about how to get the sulfnbk.exe file back from the win98 CD in case they deleted it. And it doesn't take any brains at all to perpetrate a virus hoax. Any old troll can pull a stunt like that. Wayne League

IMHO, people who create these viruses (or hoaxes) are smart people (you have to know what you are doing to create one) who have far too much spare time on their hands. They could put that creativive talent to far better use. Just my unsolicited two cents worth, but I wonder how many thousand others are in the same boat that Wayne is. Wayne, if it will help, I can copy the file out of my Windows 98 SE system and send it to you, if that will work.

>I deleted the file. Now what do I do? Get out your win98 install CD and put it in the CD ROM drive. Find and run the system information program in the system tools section of your start programs menu. Under the tools menu choose the system file checker. There you can extract the sulfnbk.exe program file from your win CD and place it back in the C:\windows\command folder where it should be. Wayne League

Now reinstall it. It is a windows system file needed for long file names. This is a hoax.
