HISTORY.TXT file - Family Scrapbook release notes - 8/22/91 Versions are in recent-to-oldest order. v1.03 Released on 8/22/91 New feature - Family charts will now put a ? next to a birth year or year of death that has a date code of A, B, F, or ?. Also, the charts will no longer print that lonely dash " - " if no dates are known. Bug fix - Dates are no longer chopped off by the ahnentafel charts. I also cleaned up some of the bad English (i.e. "born on about 1960"). Bug fix - Killed the problem with the reindex routine that was trashing the Passenger List file. New feature - Family Database: Added an Alt-F command for jumping to the family record where a spouse was a child. New feature - Gedcom can now import and export place codes. Bug fix - Installer: It was displaying a disk's size instead of the amount of free space. Bug fix - I finally killed the gremlin that was causing the field jump-if-full inconsistancy problems. Change - Gedcom I/O: I altered the gedcom import routines so that they would read the surnames from a gedfile that was created with the Roots III genealogy program. I really don't think this was a bug on my part since I followed the Gedcom specs and the Roots people did not. Bug fix - The person delete routine was removing the wrong spouse from the person's family record. v1.02 Released on 8/7/91 Bug fix - Family group sheets were not printing the correct mother for each spouse. Bug fix - Relationship reports were not printing all of a person's descendants. It would stop searching after the children. Feature removed - Option to send Person Report: all persons of same surname, to the screen. It wasn't working correctly and it wasn't such a great option anyway since it didn't look exactly like the printed version...so I killed it. Feature removed - Option to send Family Report: all families of same surname, to the screen. See last entry... Feature removed - Option to send Family Group Sheets: all families of same surname, to the screen. Ditto... New feature - Person Database: Added a help screen for the sex field. New feature - Added an option to the Relationship Report for selecting birth or current names. New feature - Added an option to the Relationship Report to print record numbers. New feature - Added an option to the Person Reports to print notes. New feature - Added an option to the Family Reports to print notes. New feature - Added an option to the Family Group Sheets to print notes. New feature - Added an option to the Family Group Sheets for selecting birth or current names. Change - Altered the width of the Family Charts so that older printers that do not support more than 132 cpl could print them. Change - Altered the left print margin of several reports (almost all blank forms) so that some older printers could print them. Change - Blank chart: Relationship Chart: Altered the chart's width so that some older printers could print them. Change - Altered the data structure of the Printer Driver Database so that it would be more versatile and thereby support more printers. New feature - Printer Driver Database: Added an Alt-A (ASCII Input) command because I got tired of looking at ASCII charts to determine what a character's decimal value was. Change - Printer drivers: For those printers that cannot support 20 cpi mode, I entered the 17 cpi mode commands in their place. If the printer is a wide-carriage, satisfactory results might be achieved - I hope.... New feature - Printer drivers: Added support for the HP Laserjet, Epson LQ-850/950/1050, Toshiba P351SX, Mannesmann Tally MT180, Citizen 180-D, Citizen GSX-140, and Okidata 320 series printers. Comment - Because of the changes to some reports, some users of older versions of Family Scrapbook will notice a difference in the print margins. This is a side-effect of trying to support other printers. I'm still trying to scheme up a way to better handle margins... Comment - Many of the printer drivers were based on information out of printer manuals and not from actually testing them on the printers themselves. Please contact me if any problems are found. v1.01 Released on 7/18/91 This is the first official release of the program. v1.00 Never officially released. This is a Beta test version that was never supposed to be distributed. One of my testers didn't follow instructions. The filename is F-57.ZIP and it is an unfinished copy of the program. It also has several bugs, some of which could scramble your data. If you see it, DO NOT USE IT and encourage those who have it to ERASE it!
