The authors' title: The Family Attic - Indispensable Genealogical
Utilities - A research and information management tool.
Just as you may discover hidden treasures in your attic when doing
your annual(?) cleaning, the software utilities included in The
Family Attic will help you uncover, store, and organize family
historical information maintained in a variety of data files.
There are also tools for doing `fix-it' jobs around your attic.
This system is designed to use file formats at their most basic
level: GEDCOM files (used to import and export records between
genealogical databases), other text files (plain ASCII created
with a text editor or word processor), and DBF files (created by
and used by the Dbase(tm) family of software systems as well as
several spreadsheet programs).
For working with GEDCOM files, the following functions are
available: Select and view a GEDCOM file, convert to DBF, edit
data, edit tags, and list valid GEDCOM tags. Family Attic can
also build, maintain and inquire from a surname/soundex database
using GEDCOM files as input.
In addition to these GEDCOM related functions, FA provides a
phone/address tracker for living relatives which allows a tie back
to your PAF database via RIN numbers, a research calendar for
keeping track of your efforts, and several foreign language
functions such as a multi-language glossary of genealogical terms.
