- Ancestor+ Fixes and Additions history
- ---------------------------------------
-
- This lists additions and modifications made to Ancestor+ from version
- 2.00. Depending upon when you obtained your printed manual some items in
- this list might not be included in it.
-
- IMPORTANT - The best way to install an updated version of Ancestor+ is
- to copy it to your hard disc and then copy the contents of the User
- sub-directory of the old version to the new version. This ensures that
- your Register file and any Report Template files you have created are
- transferred. However, if you do this it is best if you delete the files
- 'Choices' and 'Windows' from the User sub-directory if they are present.
- The layout of these files may change and old files could cause errors or
- some rather strange options or 'clipping' of windows.
-
- Ancestor+ is © David Holden and Graham Crow and costs £59 inclusive from -
