╚═══════════════════╝
Name Editor for Personal Ancestral File (NE4PAF) is a program that
will allow you to edit the PAF name file. It also automatically
corrects common capitalization errors in names.

║ Long Description ║
╚══════════════════╝
Not everyone follows the obvious rules of always identifying
Switzerland as Switzerland or using the U.S. postal codes for
states. Instead there are many ways of spelling place names.
When importing GED files from other sources, or even when several
individuals are entering data in one PAF database, identifying
these differences and correcting them one by one can be tedious
and time consuming. There is also the problem of names typed in
with all uppercase letters and correct capitalization of some last
names such as those beginning with Mc or Mac. NE4PAF is a utility
to help you make these kinds of corrections.
NE4PAF will allow you to edit the name file (NAME2.DAT) of
Personal Ancestral File (tm), version 2.2. It will also
automatically place all names in lowercase letters except for the
first letter of the name while also capitalizing the first letter
to follow Mc, Mac, a space, or the characters: (, ), [, ], the
question mark or the comma.
When individual names are changed, all related changes to the
individual (INDIV2.DAT) or marriage (MARR2.DAT) files are
performed. NE4PAF comes in two versions. NE4PAF1 can be used if
your NAME2.DAT file is smaller than 62,000 bytes. Since it does
all name manipulation in memory it operates fast. NE4PAF2 must be
used if your NAME2.DAT file is larger than 62,000 bytes. Since it
uses disk space in place of memory, it operates much more slowly.
