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 comes in two versions. NE4PAF4A can be used if
your NAME2.DAT file is smaller than 62,000 bytes. Since it does
all name manipulation in memory it operates fast. NE4PAF4B must
be used if your NAME2.DAT file is larger than 62,000 bytes. Since
it uses disk space in place of memory, it operates more slowly.
