Gail: I love Ancestral Quest. Version 3.0 will be coming out, standard edition upgrade is $29.95. I think the original pkg is $40, the same as PAF. I dislike FTM intensly and had multiple problems with PAF being a dos program. It fought with my Win 95! AQ does all that PAF does & more, very easy to manuever around in and edit. I'm' still trying to figure out how to make custom files to e mail (as Linda Fluharty will attest to!) but gedcoms are much the same as any other. It's compatable with other ged com programs. Their # 1-800-825-8864 and I imagine anyone will be able to order the new 3.0 after the middle of March. Don ordered mine the other day. They also have a AQ CD Suite which includes "the Centennia Genealogy Edition, Hammond Complete Maps of the World and the AniMap Plus demo. I got it the last time and wouldn't do it again.....the demo is interesting tho. It's about $15 more than the standard edition. I don't have stock in the company!! Judy Warth
