- I would have to agree with Peter. SCION is a well-mannered and functional
- program. It can generate various reports, such as descendancy, pedigree,
- and even create an Amigaguide or HTML page for you. You can also create your
- own customized reports via Arexx. Unfortunately, it does have its limits.
- I believe that you are limited to a given number of entries (it's quite a few,
- but when you are loading someone else's GEDCOM, it can be frustrating). Overall,
- its a nice program, and best of all, its FREEWARE/SHAREWARE/GIFTWARE, I forget
- which. The author is considering re-writing it to allow for more records, but
- I understand that that project is at least a year away, or more.
