Personal Ancestry Writer II Description

A free genealogy application based on the Personal Ancestral File by the Mormon Church Personal Ancestry Writer II is a free genealogy application that is based on the Personal Ancestral File by the Mormon Church.Personal Ancestry Writer II combines most of the features of the LDS Personal Ancestral File program (PAF) for the Macintosh (for which all development stopped a few years ago after release 2.3.1), with additional features that generate web pages (in HTML), word processing files (in RTF for, e.g., AppleWorks) and desktop publishing files (in MML for FrameMaker). The generated report files include genealogical dictionaries, registers, ahnentafels and lineages-such as appear on this site-as well as some interesting text files and pedigree charts.PAWriter also provides flexible selection of subsets of people in a file by "tagging" them (marking them as members of the subset) using a host of selection criteria. Selections include inclusion ( ), exclusion (-) and intersection (*) of the set of people meeting the criteria with those already tagged.Consider PAWriter to be a possible next step in the development of Macintosh PAF had its develpment not been discontinued after release 2.3.1, i.e., "what might have been." PAWriter is not meant to have the bells and whistles that are in the current crop of genealogical programs. The emphasis is on maintaining a genealogical database from which the user can write books and/or post web pages about a family. Requirements: · G3/G4/G5/Intel processor running at 300 MHz or faster (1 GHz or faster for very large files) · At least 64 MB of free RAM. · At least an 800 x 600 color monitor (at least 1024 x 768 when using rollover help). What's New in This Release: · An error in GEDCOM import introduced in version 88 was corrected. It caused all text to run together.
