    3. There are shareware programs that convert Ged2HTML - try searching for this string from within your browser. Once the files are in HTML format, you can read them using your internet browser, even when they are located on your harddrive or CD drive. Once you can convert your GEDCOM files to an HTML set of files (hopefully on your harddrive), you could then write the fileset to a CDW device. A CDW device in a CD drive that has both read and write capabilities. These type drives cost as much as $1000 a couple of years ago but are now quite reasonable. They even have a 're-writeable' CD (CDRW)drive and disk system that would also serve as a good 'BackUp' system total cost should be around 300 - 400. A 'write once-read many' CD drive (CDW) would cost around 200. Of course you could always pay someone else to do this and probably save if it was a one shot deal. But remember, family trees have a history of growing; you may want to do this again and again. My advice - do it yourself. -----Original Message----- From: PMannon690@aol.com <PMannon690@aol.com> To: SW_VA-L@rootsweb.com <SW_VA-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, January 16, 1999 22:52 Subject: Gedcom CDs: > Do any of you know of a place where you can export your family tree Ged Com >and have it put on a CD for you? > > Thanks, Paul > > >==== SW_VA Mailing List ==== >#6 HELP is available from the sysop/owner anytime at: > ehoward@conknet.com or swvaroot@swva.net >
