Program Title: MyFamily 2.0 Previous Version: MyFamily 1.1
-----------------------------
Detailed Program Description:
-----------------------------
MyFamily 2.0 is a full featured software package designed for the
maintenance of genealogical records and family histories. The program
is menu driven and very easy to learn and to use. MyFamily 2.0 contains
features normally found only in expensive commercial packages. MyFamily
produces ancestor and descendant charts, individual and family sheets,
event sheets, missing information sheets, various lists, blank forms, and
a statistical report. A Query Builder enables the user to easily perform
complex data queries. Reports may be viewed on screen, printed, or saved
to disk. Additional features include macro keys, free form comment text,
calendar utility, copying of selected records, and an easy data backup
routine. You may also copy, delete, rename, or view files without leaving
MyFamily. There are no limits placed on the number of children, previous
marriages, or generations entered. A sample genealogy file SAMPLE.DBF is
included on the program diskette so that you may easily try out the
program's various features.
----------------------------------
Improvements Over Previous Version
----------------------------------
New features in version 2.0 include faster program operation, capability
of storing multiple events for each individual. Each event contains a date
and a description of the event. A Query Builder has been added to allow
complex queries to be easily constructed on various fields using logical
and/or combinations. A Show option in the Query Builder allows the user
to see which records match the Query as it is being constructed. Additional
new reports include the Query Listing, Event Sheet, Missing Information,
a Life Span/Death Cause listing, and a Statistical report. All reports may
now be viewed on screen (improved file viewer with text search capability),
printed or saved to disk. An improved File Manager allows the user to
display/select from a disk directory listing, change path/mask for the
directory, and copy, rename, or delete files. MyFamily 2.0 includes many
cosmetic changes including improved use of color, shadowing, dialog boxes,
and in general easier operation.
