Genealogy & Biography Software

In reference to your article, Using the HP Palmtop as a Reference Tool (Pg. 21, Vol.4, No.2, 1995), I use Family Tree Maker Ver.3.0 genealogy software. I also use a Windows version of the program. An important feature of the program is a utility to convert your genealogy database to GEDCOM file format so that it can be read by other genealogy programs.

Another program by Banner Blue that I have loaded in my Palmtop is Biography Maker. The program guides you through a series of questions you ask based upon events and interests of the person you are writing about. The answers can then be entered directly into a text file and edited by any word processor. Dave Hearne CompuServe ID: [75414,33]
