The program is menu driven and very easy to learn and to use. MyFamily 2.0 contains features normally found only in expensive commercial packages. MyFamily produces ancestor and descendant charts, individual and family sheets, event sheets, missing information sheets, various lists, blank forms, and a statistical report. A Query Builder enables the user to easily perform complex data queries. Reports may be viewed on screen, printed, or saved to disk. Additional features include macro keys, free form comment text, calendar utility, copying of selected records, and an easy data backup routine. You may also copy, delete, rename, or view files without leaving MyFamily. There are no limits placed on the number of children, previous marriages, or generations entered. A sample genealogy file SAMPLE.DBF is included on the program diskette so that you may easily try out the program's various features. ---------------------------------- Improvements Over Previous Version ---------------------------------- New features in version 2.0 include faster program operation, capability of storing multiple events for each individual. Each event contains a date and a description of the event. A Query Builder has been added to allow complex queries to be easily constructed on various fields using logical and/or combinations. A Show option in the Query Builder allows the user to see which records match the Query as it is being constructed. Additional new reports include the Query Listing, Event Sheet, Missing Information, a Life Span/Death Cause listing, and a Statistical report. All reports may now be viewed on screen (improved file viewer with text search capability), printed or saved to disk. An improved File Manager allows the user to display/select from a disk directory listing, change path/mask for the directory, and copy, rename, or delete files. MyFamily 2.0 includes many cosmetic changes including improved use of color, shadowing, dialog boxes, and in general easier operation. -------------- Intended User: -------------- Genealogists, hobbyists ---------------- Unique Features: ---------------- Query Builder, Statistical Report, Many powerful features yet still easy to use. ------------------- Program's Capacity: ------------------- Limited only by space on hard drive. -------------------- System Requirements: -------------------- 384K - Uses dynamic overlays, memory requirement less than previous version.
