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.


New features, enhancements and bug fixes
----------------------------------------
(see the on-line help for a complete list)

Version 2.03 :

Kith and Kin was gradually eating up system resources, leading to
insufficient memory after long sessions. This has been fixed.

The maximum number of generations for Descendant and Ancestral Tree prints
has been increased to 80.

An overlap occurred in Descendant and Ancestral Tree prints where a
person had an empty record. This has been fixed.

Print setup no longer changes the system default. Any changes are local
to the current K&K session.

It is no longer possible to make the a single person appear more than once
as a child of a single family. Similarly for marriages in Person Data.

You can now specify a Person or Family code in the Range|From field of a
Person or Family Details print which does not exist. Kith and Kin will
skip to the next valid code.

Getting Started and Other Products added to the Help menu.
