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. NE4PAF allows
a user specified dictionary and prefix control file to control
non-standard capitalization.
640K standard memory should support a name file of about 8600 names. EMS
memory now supported if you have any. Also supports a mouse starting in
version 7.0.
