What I've often wishes for (but not strongly enough to write it) is a program that displays text and allows you to select and drag items form the text into fields on the side. If the text is a format it recognizes, it converts it to standard format¹ but you can also edit it directly. Click a button, and what's in the boxes gets put into a GEDCOM record, with the text file as the source (filename, unless you provide more info). Version two: You can edit and select templates for the GEDCOM or other text formats. Version three: Output options for various genealogy programs. Version four: Drag an item to the box for fact X, and not only does it process that item, it wraps the source item in XML or HTML tags to make the source file "interactive" with the genealogy DB. -- Wes Groleau There are two types of people in the world … http://Ideas.Lang-Learn.us/barrett?itemid=1157
