Knowledgeable Ones, I need to know if Family Origins 7 runs on all Windows operating systems extant today? A while back (1999?), the Studebaker Family Association purchased 10 copies of FOWin7 (and accompanying book) for use by a distributed network of data entry volunteers in a long-term project. We are about mid-way through the third year and, at the rate we're going, it may take another four or five at best. I need to know if version 7 will be a viable option as data entry volunteers possibly upgrade their systems, or new volunteers come on-board with later versions of Windows. As far as I know, most folks, including me, are currently using Windows 98. With FOWin10 being the last version, does the Association need to upgrade to version 10 because of incompatibility problems down the road? Financially, we would rather not. For simple data entry, the data entry folks don't need most of the features of 7, let alone 10. They Gedcom their efforts to me to import into the master database. As keeper of the master database, I have all later versions of FO, including 10, and will be ordering RootsMagic to explore its features in terms of the project--as well as my own personal use. In response to Bruce--several of our data entry cousins liked Family Origins so well over what they had been using that they purchased a personal copy of the latest version of FO. And, as a devoted follower, I will continue to recommend everything coming out of FormalSoft. Many thanks for the support of the List members and to our benevolent dictator--Alfred! Sincerely, SAS
