Go to www.familysearch.com and download the PAF program. It's free. As far as I know, it is the only program that is large enough to run the gedcom file now. (A gedcom won't run on it's own.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Allen" <jall@watervalley.net> To: <SC-OLD-PENDLETON-DIST-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, August 25, 2000 11:50 AM Subject: Re: [SC-OPD] Old Pendleton Database -- HELP!! >It is a self-extracting zip file.

I downloaded the files at the above address. The "MERGE.BAT" put them together in a "GEDCOM" file. The first time I attempted to open the GED file it could not complete the loading because of a lack of memory. I removed the TSRs and closed all programs for a second attempt to open the file. The same thing happened again. This is the message I got, "There is not enough available memory to complete this operation. Please close other open applications then click Retry." I don't understand this since I have 96megs of RAM and almost 3 gigabytes on the hard drive. Something else, when I click on the GED to open the file it also opens FTM as a secondary window. Any suggestions?? In advance, "Many thanks" for your help. JimAllen ? ? ? "Blowing out the other person's candle won't make yours shine any brighter."
