Read/Write: Updates PAF files
Not everyone follows the obvious rules of always identifying
Switzerland as Switzerland or using the U.S. postal codes for
states. Instead there are many ways of spelling place names.
When importing GEDCOM files from other sources, or even when
several individuals are entering data in one PAF database,
identifying these differences and correcting them one by one can
be tedious and time consuming. There is also the problem of names
typed in with all uppercase letters and correct capitalization of
some last names such as those beginning with Mc or Mac. NE4PAF is
a utility to help you make these kinds of corrections.
NE4PAF will allow you to edit the name file (NAME2.DAT) of
Personal Ancestral File (tm), version 2.2. It will also
automatically place all names in lowercase letters except for the
first letter of the name while also capitalizing the first letter
to follow Mc, Mac, a space, or the characters: (, ), [, ], the
question mark or the comma.
When individual names are changed, all related changes to the
individual (INDIV2.DAT) or marriage (MARR2.DAT) files are
performed. This version allows a user specified dictionary to
handle non-standard capitalization.
