- Kith and Kin for Windows 3.1
- Version 1.4
- ============================================================================
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- Copy all files from the release disk into a new directory (eg. KITHKIN) on
- your hard disk.
-
- Run KITHKIN.EXE from File Manager or create a new program item in Program
- Manager and double click on the Kith and Kin icon.
- You can launch Kith and Kin from a Tree File (.TRE) if you have associated
- .TRE files with KITHKIN.EXE in the File Manager. If you want to do this, you
- must not include the path name (eg. C:\KITHKIN) on the command line and the
- program file, help file, tree files and options file must all reside in the
- same directory.
-
- To get you off to a flying start using Kith and Kin, read the help topic
- "Getting Started". This will lead you through the basics.
-
- The file BWCC.DLL should reside in either the KITHKIN or WINDOWS\SYSTEM
- directories or in another directory in your PATH. Since it is a common DLL
- you may already have it on your system in which case you need only one copy
- available.

-
- New features, enhancements and bug fixes
- ----------------------------------------
- (see the on-line help for a complete list)
-
- Version 1.4 :
-
- Kith and Kin now supports Object Linking and Embedding (OLE). This means
- that you can import and link to pictures, diagrams, sounds, videos and any
- other object created by an application which also supports OLE. These
- objects can be associated with a person or family.
-
- Two new printouts have been created: the Descendant and the Ancestor prints
- now produce a tree of all the direct descendants or ancestors of a given
- person.
-
- You can now open family and person data dialogs directly from the search
- results dialog.
-
- Double clicking the left mouse button in list boxes now performs the
- appropriate edit function.
-
- Close buttons have now replaced Ok and Cancel buttons in certain dialogs.
- This avoids ambiguity where the implication was that Ok would accept the
- current data and Cancel would ignore any changes.
-
- The operation of the graphic interface (the tree area) has been tidied up.
-
- Pressing the right mouse button over a family rectangle now produces a
- family summary window for quick checks of family details.
-
- The Print Setup command has now been enhanced to allow the selection of any
- installed printer driver not just the default one.
-
- Read-only edit fields now have a grey instead of a white background. This is
- to distinguish them from edit fields where data can be entered.
-
- You can now have more than one copy of Kith and Kin running at the same
- time.
-
- A bug in the tree area display prevented parent-lines from being deleted in
- certain circumstances. This has now been fixed.
-
- The font sample in the Fonts dialog now redraws correctly when exposed from
- under another window.
-
-
- Registration
- ------------
-
- This product is SHAREWARE. The version on this release disk is a fully
- functional evaluation copy which you may install and use free of charge
- for 30 days. After that time, if you wish to continue using the program you
- must become a registered user. Details of how to register are available in
- the on-line help.
- If you have been using an earlier version of Kith and Kin some of your tree
- (.TRE) and options (.OPT) files may require conversion before they can be
- used with this version. A data file conversion program is included with all
- registered versions of Kith and Kin.
