    1. [FTM-MAC] "/" will corrupt gedcom files
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: suelopes Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.software.ftmmac/120/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I have had this program running for over 12 months with 26000 individuals. Apart from it crashing regularly (see another thread), there is an other problem I reported but does not seem to have been addressed. Do not use forward slash "/" in the PLACE fields. The gedcom file will corrupt. When I reported this 12 months ago, it was acknowledged, but no other warnings or fixes were given. I had to use a text editor and laboriously change "/" to "_" Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
