║ PAF Review - Edition 94.4 - December 1994 ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
PAF Review contains descriptive information about shareware and freeware
utilities that work with versions 2.xx of the Personal Ancestral File.
Except for a list of utilities for the Apple MacIntosh version of PAF
contained in file PAFRV.DES, PAF Review relates only to the IBM PC
version. PAF is published by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints and is widely used by genealogical researchers. The version of
PAF Review described by this file is the "Cumulative" version. It
completely supersedes all previous editions and contains complete
information on all programs and files covered by edition 94.4.
To create the individual files that make up PAF Review, run the program
INSTALL.EXE. It creates the other files in a hard disk directory that
you select. INSTALL first verifies that there is enough space - about
925kb of disk space for this edition. This number doesn't include the
installation programs but if space is tight you can readily install from
a floppy disk. Once the install is complete, you no longer need the
files named INSTALL.EXE, INSTALL.LZH, README and FILE_ID.DIZ.
After installation you can browse, search or print any of the included
material using the program PAFREV.EXE. There are no parameters required
and the PAF Review files are assumed to be in the current directory by
default. Type PAFREV /H for information on optional parameters. For
instructions on how to use PAFREV, use the built-in help by pressing the
F1 function key or by pressing ALT H at any point. PAFREV includes the
ability to look at any individual file, to print a single file, to print
all files, and to search for files containing a short piece of text that
you specify. The text files in PAF Review can be also be displayed on
your monitor or printed using other utilities or commands.
PLEASE NOTE: Files in PAF Review end with a page eject character to
allow unattended printing via the DOS copy command. If you print with a
program that adds an eject at the end of each document, such as the DOS
PRINT command, you will have a blank page between each file.

README.PRV This file (1 page)
