Dear Family Tree Journal Users,

Well, it had to happen! As soon  as  I  thought  version  10
was perfect,  several customers reported problems. There is one major
"bug" that produces strange relationships in your data files that
WILL  occur  (if you haven't experienced it already.) If you make 
any changes to spouses in either the main data  entry  screen  or
changes  to  spouses,  children or siblings in the F7 screen, the
program creates entries in your .GEN file that  results  in  out-
landish relationships between family members.  
The file called FTJENTER.EXE in your earlier version 10 of Family 
Tree Journal has been updated.  After you replace FTJENTER.EXE, start
the program and go  to  the data  entry  screen.  Bring  up  an
existing family member on the screen (anyone will do) and save 
that person  with  the  F8  key.  This will clean out the false 
entries in the .GEN file. The other files are not affected so this
process  will  not  eliminate  any names, biographies, references,
etc. in your data.  After cleaning, the remaining information will
be correct and the problem should not reoccur.  Unfortunately, you
may find that you will  have  to  reenter  the genealogical   
information   for   the  people  that  had  become scrambled.
I apologize for the inconvenience that this may have  caused  and 
thanks  to  those of you who pointed out the problem. It required 
quite a bit of detective work  to  determine  what  had  occurred 
before I could duplicate the problem and fix it.
                            Rick
