Ancestor+ Version 2. Fixes and Additions history ------------------------------------------------ This lists additions and modifications made to Ancestor+ from version 2.00 up to version 2.30. Depending upon when you obtained your printed manual some items in this list might not be included in it. Note that Version 2 has now been superceded by Version 3. IMPORTANT - The best way to install an updated version of Ancestor+ is to copy it to your hard disc and then copy the contents of the User sub-directory of the old version to the new version. This ensures that your Register file and any Report Template files you have created are transferred. However, if you do this it is best if you delete the files 'Choices' and 'Windows' from the User sub-directory if they are present. The layout of these files may change and old files could cause errors or some rather strange options or 'clipping' of windows.
