GedEdit and its associated files are provided on a 'USE AT YOUR OWN RISK'
basis. There are no warranties, expressed or implied, that GedEdit or
any other file/program on the GedEdit shareware diskette or in the download
archive will perform any particular function or suit any specific purpose.
This is the shareware version of GedEdit - The GedCom File Editor with
Reports. The Registered version comes with a printed, fully illustrated
manual containing examples of all GedEdit functions and features plus
helpfull tips.
Registration details are displayed when you exit GedEdit.
For an index to the files on this diskette or downloaded archive, display
the file "CONTENTS.DOC".
This program creates a disk work environment for each .GED file being
edited. In order to use GedEdit you must have a minimum of 300K of
RAM and free diskspace on the order of 6 times .GED filesize for the
work environment.
Each .GED disk work environment consists of a:
x.WRK file
x.IDX file
x.FDX file
where 'x' represents the GedCom filename being edited.
Work environments are created the 'first' time you ask GedEdit to load a
'new' .GED file and exist until such time as the .GED file being edited
is either saved to disk or the edit session is aborted. This means that
work done today can be resumed tommorrow, next week, next month or next
year and everything will be just as you left it. The original .GED file
remains untouched until such time as you tell GedEdit to overwrite it
via the 'Save' function.
When you save or abort an edit session the disk work environment created
for the edit session is returned to the operating system. The next time
you load the GedCom will be a 'first' load. Loading, saving and
re-loading are common practices in fixing bad GedComs, stripping out
garbage, re-indexing after adding or deleting structures, generally any
time you want to start with a fresh slate.
WARNING. GedEdit will happily continue to gobble up disk space every
time you load a new .GED file. Remember to abort or save the edit
session when you are finished with it.
If you run into trouble, check the on-line help. If you're still in
trouble, re-read the distribution diskette or .ZIP file documentation.
If you're STILL in trouble, register and get the fully illustrated
printed manual with step-by-step examples of all GedEdit functions
using 'real' .GED files. Of course, you also get the latest registered
version of GedEdit with the manual.
This is GedEdit's maiden appearance and as such users who register now are
not just Registered Users, they are CHARTER Registered Users. Charter Users
will always get the best possible deal on upgrades and new releases, and
Charter Users have a powerfull voice in determining what new GedEdit features
and functions will appear in future versions. Register soon.
For registration details see the information screen when you exit
GedEdit.
GedEdit is an evolving package. Do you find yourself saying 'Now, if it
would only ....', I would like to hear about that.
