In my opinion, it is indeed one of the finest genealogy programs available today. I began 'foolin' around with genealogy back in the '80s and tried more than just a few programs, each time going back to FTM. I like it, probably because I'm familiar with it. Few things I can't do yet with it, like reduce the notes sections to 40 characters wide, but it'll come some day. Anyhow, Egle's Notes and Queries, on a disk from FTM, self runs from the FTM program. I don't know, but believe it won't run on anything except FTM. I tried it as a stand-alone, but it LOOKS for FTM as it's reader. Since I have FTM on my computer, the CD finds it and opens up. A simple solution to using this excellent CD on Egle's Notes and Queries (he published a weekly newspaper column back in the 1880s) would be to buy an old version of Family Tree Maker at a discount store for a couple of bucks, obtain the CD, and use FTM just as the CD reader. You won't be sorry you spent the couple of bucks for the old FTM program, and the $19 for the CD is a fantastic bargain. Give me a name, and I'll see what Egle has to say about that person (please don't make it SMITH!). -- Regards, with regrets to Netscape6 users (what a mess!)
