VISUAL GENEALOGY provides the ability to display individuals'
genealogy from three different viewpoints - his ancestors, his
descendants and/or his personal data. These views may be displayed
one at a time or all at once; switching back and forth with the
touch of a key. This revision of VISUAL GENEALOGY (5.0) includes
a built in mechanism for creating or updating Genealogy files,
converting files to and from GEDCOM format and provisions to print
any of these viewpoints or to write them to a file for further
formatting or processing. It is the new GEDCOM capability that
makes Visual Genealogy of interest to PAF users.
The look and feel of this program is very much like that of a
Macintosh computer or of a Windows application. It uses only the
character mode of your computer and therefore does not need any
graphic display capability. Each of the viewpoints is in a window
of its own. A mouse will make the program a little easier to use
because you can point to the choice you want on the various menus.
Everything that can be done with the mouse can also be done with
the keyboard.
The actual display of genealogical data should be self evident.
You can scroll through all the data available, even if it doesn't
all fit on the screen at one time. You use the mouse and the
scroll bars at the edge of the window or you use the computer
directional arrow keys to move up, down or sideways. The
appearance of the data in each of the windows can be further
tailored by using the settings menu. Here you can choose how many
generations to show, whether to show the identifying numbers or
not, or whether to show all the information on each individual or
just his name and key dates.
