Personal Ancestral File (PAF) provides many types of reports but
none of them are really suitable for sharing the data with family
members or preparing the material for publication. How many times
have you printed out a stack of family group sheets to send to a
family member who is interested in your work? Aside from the fact
that this is a lot of paper to look at, it is difficult for the
reader to grasp what the family line looks like and where he fits
in. PAF Ability was written to produce the register style report
which is ideal for these kinds of needs, and handy to carry on
research trips.
PAF Ability is an accessory program for users of PAF. PAF Ability
reads the Family Record (FR) data files to produce a descendants
report using the Record (also known as Modified Register) System
numbering. The user has the option of creating a single line
report (listing the descendants of one individual) or a multiple
line report (listing the descendants of each end-of-line ancestor
of a specified individual). The user interface uses a mouse and
is very similar to windows applications with pull down menus,
dialog boxes, etc. PAF Ability includes context sensitive help,
with hypertext links to related areas and a help index.
The documentation for PAF Ability includes an excellent discussion
on the Modified Register System, its format and why it is used.
Technical support is available via phone, FidoNet, and CompuServe.
