Awhile back (~Nov. 85), a genealogy program "geneal" was posted. I have the program and want to use it more actively. I have two questions I hope someone can answer. 1. What are the e-mail address of the authors Written by Jim McBeath (jimmc) at SCI Modified by Terry L. Ridder (tlr) at The Terry L. Ridder Family 2. Has anyone made any modifications to enhance the program, ie. - Getting the tree option to work - Browsing by name If you can answer any of the above questions or have any other information, I would appreciate your reply. Thanks, Owen Alexander houxl!oaa

Around the same time as 'geneal' was announced, a genealogy program for the IBM, Apple, and I think Commodore pc's was also announced (I think) I beleive it came from some Mormon organization and cost ~ $35. A version 2 was supposed to be available later on. Does anyone remember such a program (for the IBM PC) or know of any other low-cost genealogy programs? Thanks in advance...

I have been using ON-DISPLAY Version 2, a series of Geneology Programs written in BASIC on my COMPAQ+ for over a year now. It is fairly well documented and serves my purposes well enough. I have over 8 generations, 400+ persons, and 130 marriages in the system and have never lost data (yet..). -- Michael E.

I worked on parts of that program. It should be available from the LDS Genealogical Society, Salt Lake City, Ut. I don't know what the cost is but it seems to me that was rather inexpensive. -- Chris Grevstad {sdcsvax,hplabs}!sdcrdcf!psivax!nrcvax!chris ucbvax!calma!nrcvax!chris ihnp4!nrcvax!chris "Book 'em, Drano!"
