Generations - Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Generations?
A: Generations is a program to build genealogy trees.
   You can build a family tree having as many generations as you wish,
   as long as there is free memory and enough hard-disk space on your system.

Q: What are the files required to run Generations?
A: geno.exe (350 KB).  This is the only executable module you need
   to carry around.  For instance, if you want to distribute your
   genealogy tree on a floppy disk, all you need to put on the
   floppy is geno.exe and your genealogy tree document.

Q: What platforms Generations runs on?
A: Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT.  On most systems, you should
   already have libraries mfc42.dll and msvcrt.dll.  However, if you don't
   have those files on your system, you can download mfcdll.zip from my
   web site.  Since you are manually installing system libraries, I would
   highly recommend to put those libraries (mfc42.dll and msvcrt.dll) in
   the same directory as geno.exe.

Q: What are the steps to install Generations?
A: Copy (or download) the file geno.zip and save it into a folder.
   Decompress geno.zip to extract geno.exe, create a shortcut of geno.exe
   to your desktop and double-click on that shortcut.
   Generations does not require any setup or installation program.

Q: Can I put Generations available for download from my web site?
A: Yes.  If you are interested having a download area, you are welcome to
   do so. If you want, you can copy the HTML pages from my web site and 
   customize or translate them to your own taste.  It is preferable you
   put a link to http://www.danmorin.com/generations/geno.zip so people
   can download the latest version of Generations.  If you make a copy
   of geno.zip to your web site, send me your email address so I can mail
   you back when a new version is available.

Q: Why Generations is FREE?
A: My father needed a genealogy program. I wrote Generations during my
   spare time. I plan to make Generations one of the best Genealogy program
   available on the Internet.  I have all the tools and technology available
   to make Generations easier to use and more flexible.
   I add features to Generations  wherever I can, and make new releases
   when there is enough features to make a difference.  Future releases
   of Generations are likely to be free because I am not interested
   collecting money from individuals.  I prefer to buy myself some publicity,
   so I want Generations to be used by everyone.
