For several years I used both FO/RM and Legacy. I could switch from one to the other because files export/gedcom between programs with no changes (I thought). Then I noticed a problem. Legacy allows me to record a source for name. RM sources a name for print purposes but exports to Legacy as an unassigned source. Suddenly I found myself having to move the unassigned source in Legacy to the name in several thousand instances individually. So I quit using RM at RM4 and have not upgraded since. I'm surprised that RM does not allow sourcing of name that will export as name source. Does the newest version of RM assign a source for name that will export to Legacy as name or does it still export to unassigned source? Hugh
Then there is the problem that Legacy outputs incorrect code for Cause of Death, causing other programs to import it as either Description for the death event or as a Note. We can't win Hugh.
