Might be Phyills, I don't recall the time involved, but do recall going for a cold drink and some cookies.....If I remember right there are approximately 32,000 people in the gedcom......worked like a charm for me......including the d/l and the unzipping....if we all followed the instructions from Larry about how to do it.......... (^o^) Hal, from sunny and cool Northern California! BTW, guys and gals.......I found the following address in the current issue of Yahoo Mag: WWW.btinternet.com/~friends4ever/y2000.htm This site has a downloadable small program that will check out your computers' clock to see if it will pass the y2k problem. Does not check the CMOS clock etc...but is a simple test...I tried it this morning and it gave me a "Passed" grade for y2k and for "Leapyear"..........be sure to read the instructions first!!!!!!
