Short: Genealogy database manager v4.09
Author: rakins@bcleng.co.nz (Robbie Akins)
Uploader: rakins@bcleng.co.nz
Type: biz/dbase
SPECIAL NOTE
This programme is supplied fully functional.
It is NOT disabled or "crippled" IN ANY WAY.
Scion Genealogist is a specialised database for keeping track of
genealogical information, and features a full, easy to use, Intuition
interface. Version 4.09 is an upgrade/bug-fix for Version 4.07 (see below).
The programme is totally non-sexist and secular in nature, and correctly
handles multiple marriages, "unconventional" marriages, adopted children,
and unmarried parents.
The printed reports include descendant and pedigree charts, personal details
reports, family group sheets, index lists of people and families, and many
others. See the "Scion.guide" help file for details on the new reports.
Free-form note files can be created using any editor, and IFF pictures can
be viewed using any IFF viewer, from within the programme.
Other features include dynamic on-screen ancestor and descendant charts,
extensive on-line context-sensitive help (using "AmigaGuide", © Commodore
Business Machines), flexible "regular expression" searching, and multiple
ARexx ports with extensive command set.
Locale support for alternative languages.
Can be used with PAL or NTSC. Works with floppy and/or hard disk drives,
although a hard disk drive is STRONGLY recommended.
Maximum number of people per database = 4999
Maximum number of marriages per person = 10
Maximum number of children per family group = 40

BUG FIXES (4.07 -> 4.09)
------------------------
- Window "depth arrangement" gadgets did not appear under OS3+. Fixed.
- Personal Detail Reports could omit printing "Children" header at bottom
of first page. Fixed.
- Personal Details Reports and Family Group Sheets without a defined spouse
could print "garbage" characters. Fixed.
- Spouses with long surnames could cause weird things (like apparent sex
change) to happen in on-screen family lists. Fixed.
- Last names were always being added to the pick list when only NEW names
should have been added. Fixed.
- A couple of very minor (largely cosmetic) changes.
