[ANN] Gendatam Suite Beta 2
Gendatam Suite is a Family History application.
Beta version 2 of Gendatam Suite for OS/2 is now available at the website
http://www.gendatam.com/. Gendatam Suite uses its own data model while
providing support for the usual Gedcom format. The current Beta adds an
improved user interface, improved gedcom access and an optional macro
facility for data entry. Files of any size may be read.
The application is a Java program which has been pre-compiled for use on
OS/2.
Running as native code makes the application generally quicker and more
responsive.
The application has its own look-and-feel. This provides a consistent
interface regardless of the host system.
OS/2 users may be interested in this application for a number of reasons:
- It is written in Java but packaged as an OS/2 native code program.
- It is a family history program available first on OS/2, but also to
be available on the Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP series with data
compatibility between operating systems.
This beta will be of particular interest to those people who like to see
how well programs will read the various varieties of Gedcom files.
This current beta version expires at the end of August.
Feedback is welcome as noted on the website. Feedback is particularly
requested from OS/2 users (there were all of about 20 downloads for
OS/2 beta 1).
A note to archive administrators: The version is a beta version which
incorporates an expiry date. There is no point in archiving it.
Regards
Peter
