│ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record │
│ │
│ This record is a means of conveying information about a software │
│ product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a │
│ normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed │
│ by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great │
│ deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This │
│ allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for │
│ permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product │
│ information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. │
│ │
│ The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing │
│ tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, │
│ etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these │
│ records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. │
│ The toolset can be obtained from many sources, including the │

New features, enhancements and bug fixes
----------------------------------------
(see the on-line help for a complete list)
Version 2.0 :
Support for PAF GEDCOM files (the Genealogical Data Communication
standard) is now included. You can export and import data to and from
other genealogy programs. Simply specify that the file you wish to open
is a GEDCOM file and Kith and Kin will do the rest. You can create a new
tree or merge the GEDCOM file with an existing tree. Saving to a GEDCOM
file is just as easy. Export one person, selected families or an entire
tree.
There are now indicators in Person and Family data dialogs to show if
any notes or objects are present.
The dialog fields and controls now have hot-keys to speed up keyboard
use.
A new search facility has been added to check for people in limbo, ie.
people who do not appear in families because they have no parents or
marriages.
Due to the length of time taken to load larger GEDCOM files, a status
indicator bar is displayed each time any file type is opened or saved.
Clicking on the Cancel button will abort the process.
The placement of new family rectangles has been improved.
The Select Dialog has been improved to handle larger trees.
You can now scroll the tree area while moving or placing families.
Simply move the cursor to the edge of window in the direction that you
want to scroll. Hold down the CTRL key to move in larger jumps.
You can also use the PageUp, PageDn, Home and cursor keys to scroll
around the tree area.
The tree area display has been enhanced.
The current tree is not deleted when a File|Open fails.
Some reports were becoming garbled when text was being printed beyond
the edges of the page (eg. in ancestral trees). This version correctly
clips all text at the set margins.
The heading lines in the Family Details printout were missing from page
2 onwards on some printers. This has now been fixed.
A Person Details printout is now available for printing details of one
or more people.
The Descendant and Ancestral trees now have titles and have been
improved to handle multi-page printing. Printers which can handle
continuous stationery can produce large charts without having to join
sheets.
The Family Details printout now has improved widow/orphan control, eg. a
page break was possible between the CHILDREN header and the first child.
The Tree Layout print has been enhanced.
The Index printout can now be sorted by either code or name.
Appropriate menu items are now correctly disabled when there are no
people and/or families in the current tree.
The following are the limits on the size of the tree data. You can have
up to 16383 people and families combined. The size of the Tree Area is
approx. 200 families wide by 350 high. The maximum number of characters
which can be held in each person or family notes is 9500. Ultimately the
total amount of tree data will depend on the amount of memory (RAM) in
your PC. To some extent the speed of your PC will govern the usability
of the software with large amounts of data.
Registration
------------
This product is SHAREWARE. This version is a fully functional evaluation
copy which you may install and use free of charge for 30 days. After
that time, if you wish to continue using the program you must become a
registered user. Details of how to register are available in the on-line
help. If you have been using an earlier version of Kith and Kin some of
your tree (.TRE) and options (.OPT) files may require conversion before
they can be used with this version. A data file conversion program is
included with all registered versions of Kith and Kin.

===== Installation =====================================
Installation
------------
Copy all files from the release disk into a new directory (eg. KITHKIN)
on your hard disk.
Run KITHKIN.EXE from the File Manager or create a new program item in
the Program Manager and double click on the Kith and Kin icon. You can
launch Kith and Kin from a Tree File (.TRE) if you have associated .TRE
files with KITHKIN.EXE in the File Manager. The program (.EXE), help
(.HLP) and options (.OPT) files must all reside in the same directory.
To get you off to a flying start using Kith and Kin, read the help topic
"Getting Started". This will lead you through the basics.
The file BWCC.DLL should reside in either the KITHKIN or WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directories or in another directory in your PATH. Since it is a common
DLL you may already have it on your system in which case you need only
one copy available.
