George, I can't thank you enough for posting your views on the genealogy software question, not because of WHAT it will do but for the fact it will run on NT! I have been searching the computer/software stores hoping 'someday' the genealogy programs would become NT compatible so that I can access my family database while I'm at work since that is where I read the SHARP postings. And to think it's free besides! THANK YOU!!
