Recent Changes to Brother's Keeper --------------------------------------------------------- If you already have BK for Windows, pick Help, About BK to see the date of your program. Even if you already have a previous version, you should get BOTH parts of the program if you want the current version. You can put each part on a diskette, or put both parts in one directory and then run BKSETUP.EXE and it will run the second part automaticly. 25-Mar-98 Fixed a problem where the page number at the top of the index was wrong if the footnotes were printed on the page before the index. Increased the Collapsed ancestor chart to 99 generations. It still prints a maximum of 2500 people currently. 19-Mar-98 Added option to print the message lines on the Custom List routines. (currently these new fields show up only in the English version.) If you are printing several message lines, then be sure to add the New Line field after each line. Fixed problem with gedcom export when asking for ansel character set with long names. 12-Mar-98 Fixed problem where Source window was sometimes displayed at the top and not the bottom. 24-Feb-98 Added option to Split database to select a certain number of generations for ancestors or descendants. Increased the number of generations for the Register book report to 99 Fixed a problem with gedcom import where an error occured if it found a 3 CONT line before a 2 SOUR line in an event. Added an option in the Compute Relationship routine. The way it usually works is that when you pick the compute button and then pick "find other relationships" it will not show you another way to find the "same" relationship. In other words, if you are a cousin to someone because you have the same grandFATHER, it will not show you a "different" relationship saying you are a cousin to that person because you have the same grandMOTHER. However, sometimes you may be a "third cousin" to someone in different ways (through different people in the line.) It used to not show you that since the relationship of "third cousin" is the same. Now, however, there is an option where you can press F5 before you first click on the Compute button. (nothing changes on the screen.) If you do that, then when you pick "find other relationships" it will show you other ways to get the same relationship and not just show you different relationships. You can pick Preview to see the people in the line. Then click "find other relationshps" again and then click Preview again and so on until you find the one you want. Then click Print to print out that relationship. Note to translators: Changed the Register report to use line 1403 from the workfile. So it uses "Next Generation" instead of combining two lines when not showing the generation number. 02-Feb-98 Fixed a problem with RTF output of Indented report to Word Perfect with Henry numbers. 01-Feb-98 It now will only underline one parent on the Edit screen if one parent is natural and one adoptive. Fixed problem if you had long labels (over 9 letters long) for "baptized" or "buried" when sending a group sheet to a text file. Gedcom import should pick correct character set now if gedcom file was created by BK Windows. Gedcom import will correctly pick up the divorce year from a gedcom file. Before it read the year if the full date was listed, but did not get the year if only the year was available in the file. When displaying a picture of a person, you can now click outside the picture to close the screen (if the picture is smaller than full screen size.) If you start BK and have the BK program set at less than full screen, you can move the main screen of BK and all the other screens will open at the same location as the main screen. (They used to open in the upper left corner of your display.) Fixed a problem where the pictures did not print correctly if you did a Relationship report and clicked Box chart and had the option set in Box chart for pictures. If you want to print a Group sheet and NOT print the information in the REF field, then in File, Options, change the name of the REF field to all blanks. Otherwise, Group sheets will show the REF field. 18-Dec-97 Fixed a problem when adding a new person. If the new person has a name similar to an existing person, and if you press ALT+F2 to enter a foreign letter in the last name of the person after you have typed 5 letters of the last name, the program was jumping to the Select Person screen by mistake. This has been fixed. 16-Dec-97 The gedcom import routine does a better job of reading sources from other programs. Also, it does a better job of shortening names of people or places if they are over 40 characters long. The long and short version of the names are in the GED.LST file. The gedcom import routine will write to the GED.LST file, lines from the gedcom file that were not imported. (Either because you did not ask for that event to be imported, or because the gedcom file had multiple events of the same type, or because BK does not have a field for that event.) Fixed a problem with the Merge routine where sometimes it gave a STAT=4 error when it should not have given any error. Fixed a problem where sometimes you would get an error if you did a Preview of a report after creating a RTF file of that report. 19-Nov-97 Added CTRL+ shortcut keys to Select Person screen. Added option to backup over a smaller text file. Before, it would not backup over a smaller text file when doing a backup, but now it asks yes or no. Fixed problem when you have accented letters in the name of a text file. It still creates the file without the accents, but before this version, it could not find the existing file. Fixed problem with "subscript out of range" that happened on the Edit screen sometimes for those people that had the options set to go to Find when first going to the Edit screen. If a person makes a gedcom file and forgets to type .ged at the end of the file name, it now automatically adds the .ged extention. 14-Nov-97 Fixed problem when printing pictures on group sheets while printing odd or even pages only. Also fixed problem with odd/even on certain laser printers. On group sheets, it will now print the "also know as" name for children also if printing All or Short data for children. Group sheets will show age of person even if not exact. (for example ABT or CIR dates) Program will accept dates in the format 5 Dec 1997 even if there is no 0 or space before the one digit day. (Previously, it wanted a 0 or space as the first character if the day was less than 10.) Increased the limit for the Ancestor Timeline to 400 (it was 200 people.) Added option to the Ahnentafel List and Ahnentafel Book to include duplicate ancestors due to a cousin marriage. (Previously, it did not show the duplicates - now it is an option.) 06-Nov-97 The BK program is basically the same as the 29-Oct-97 version, except this one has a newer translation for the Danish and Norwegian languages. The Utility program has two new features. It can left justify all REF fields. (In case you used to have them right justified and now you want to change them.) And the Utility program has a routine to compare two databases that are almost the same. It is currently designed to compare person 1 with person 1 in the other database, and 2 with 2 and so on. This is useful if you have a copy on your desktop and a copy on your laptop computer and you want to compare the two databases to see what changes were made on one computer. Also a slight change in the Utility program for the routine that changes capitalization. It will capitalize the letter after a "dash" Like: Smith-Jones The Utility program is for experienced computer users and it is available from the BK BBS and from my web site at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Brothers_Keeper The program name is BKuSETUP.EXE 29-Oct-97 Fixed a problem where the Descendant report was repeating duplicate cousins when there was a cousin marriage. Also added option to let it repeat duplicates. Fixed problem where Tiny Tafel was only made if you pressed the button and was not made if you picked File, Create. If you do not want to see my grandfather's picture when the program starts, put a different picture in a file called MYPIC.BMP in the BK5 directory. It must be a bitmap file and it must be small to fit properly. Note: that file does not normally exist. If the file is not found, the built in picture of my grandfather is displayed. So you need to create a file with that name and put it in C:\BK5 if you want a different picture. And it must be a bitmat format file. 23-Oct-97 Added option to print a heading and the date and page numbers at the top of the Index. Added option to print odd or even pages or to skip to a certain page number for these reports: Register, Indented, Ahnentafel, Descendant, Group sheets, Custom. Added option on Custom report to underline everything. (field 89) 08-Oct-97 Fixed a problem on custom reports when making a comma delimited file with addresses. Before the fix, if you picked field 96 and field 91 it would export blanks for people with no address. Now it only makes a line for people that have addresses. Fixed a problem on custom reports where sometimes it would say "you can not preview laser labels" even when you did not have field 97 picked. This version also includes updates to the German and Norwegian language files. 24-Sep-97 Refixed a problem where first picture on ancestor chart was not printing if you had no date printing. This problem was fixed on 16-Sep-97 but the problem returned in the 21-Sep-97 version. 21-Sep-97 Fixed problem where first picture did not print on the Picture Summary report. Added "default century" to the Options. If you enter a date with no century, it will use the default century. You may still enter any date of any century if you type the 4 digit year and not a 2 digit year. 16-Sep-97 Fixed problem when printing pictures on ancestor chart where first picture did not print if you were not printing the date or heading at the top. Fixed problem on Missing information report where the name of a person would print if the death date was ? even if you did not ask for people with no death date. Fixed problem on Count of descendants report where if you had over 22,000 people in your database, the number of spouses on that report would not be correct sometimes. Fixed problem of "illegal function call" if you had the option set to display matching names in birth date order and if you went to Edit and Added a new person that had the same name as someone else and you did not do any other type of search for a name prior to the add. Added to the Tree and Box charts the height of the chart when you pick Size. (It used to just give the number of pages wide.) 05-Sep-97 Added option to print pictures on the descendant Box charts. Added option to print a 3 generation ancestor chart with pictures. Added new Picture Summary report. It will print a small sample of all pictures attached to people, or all pictures in a certain directory. Or you can display those pictures. This option works with the English version of BK now and will work with the foreign translations after the translators get the new lines converted. If you are running a foreign language and you do not want to wait for the translation, then press F5 on the main screen and then pick Other and you will see Picture Summary. If most of your scanned pictures are not in the C:\BK5 directory, then there is a way to tell BK where the pictures are located. Make a text file called PICDIR.BK put only one line in the file such as: C:\SCANNER or whatever the name of the directory is that your scanner puts pictures into. Then when you click the button to the left of a blank message line, it will look in that directory instead of C:\BK5. Note: This does NOT affect pictures you already have attached, it only helps you find new pictures when you are putting them into a blank message line. Note: the PICDIR.BK text file goes in C:\BK5 Fixed a problem where the margins were not being saved for the Box chart routine when you picked Save Options. The translation program has been updated to include lines for the new features described above. 31-Jul-97 Added option on Indented report to include duplicate descendants of cousin marriages. Register report can print more people per generation now and the Register number can be over 32,000 Added option in Options for the line spacing when you print the current page from Group sheets. The line spacing for Preview seems to vary for different printers. So if there is always a 2 inch margin at the bottom of the Preview screen, you can now adjust the spacing in Options (on Field Names tab.) Some printers need it set to 83% but others work better at 95%. But if the percent is set too high, then when you do a Preview, some text may spill over onto a new page (with no page number.) Note, this does not affect printing when you pick the Print button. It only affects Preview and "print current page" from Preview. Added option when making a Gedcom file to exclude the details for living people. If you are putting information on the Web for example, you may want to not include the dates, locations, and messages for living people. The translation program has been updated to include lines for the new features described above. 25-Jun-97 Fixed a problem with the German translation. (The BK Windows program is still dated 11-Jun-97) 11-Jun-97 Fixed a problem with group sheets when printing message lines for children (unformatted) the indenting was not always correct. Fixed a problem with RTF output to Word Perfect 7.0 where the font size in WP would sometimes be 12 point and not the size you specified in BK 06-Jun-97 Fixed a problem with the select person screen if the user had the option set for names in birth order. It was not correctly highlighting the top name upon return to that screen. The Gedcom export and import will handle multiple sets of parents and will correctly designate parents as adoptive. Gedcom import will attempt to import sources that are cross referenced. Some other genealogy programs used structured sources with Title, Author, Publisher and so on. If the gedcom file contains a source like that, this version will attempt to put that source into the three lines available for each source in BK. If the gedcom file contains a source longer than three lines then the entire source will not be able to fit into the BK source area. If you have the option set to display the date of last change for people, it will also show the date of change for the marriage. The marriage change date may be blank for marriages that were last changed during 1996 and in 1997 before this June 6 version. 02-Jun-97 Fixed a problem where uninstall was not working with May version 28-May-97 Added option to print locations on the Descendant report. Note: you will need to use a 10 point font or smaller for the locations to fit. Added more warnings if a user picks a directory name with over 8 letters or a directory with a space in the name. Added option to use a different method for doing the alphabetical sort. Instead of F7 at the main menu, go to File, Options, and on the Field Names tab there is a new line to pick a number for the type of sort. The number 2 seems to work for people that have trouble making the sort work. (The sort is a DOS program and with certain video modes in Windows, the sort may lock up Windows unless the sort is in a full window.) 21-May-97 Fixed subscript out of range error message if you picked descendants, then direct lineage, and the strarting person and the ending person were only 1 generation apart. This version of BK Windows is called 5.2F 16-May-97 Fixed the Ancestor Box chart so if you pick a 10 point font when printing, it will fit on the page. Also fixed a problem where the line from person one was missing for certain font sizes. 06-May-97 Added new feature to Register report to print just the descendants of the male or female children. If you are doing a name study of Smith, then pick the male only choice to show only descendants with the Smith name. The Register report will show the parents of the starting person now. The RTF option for Word Perfect 7.0 will work better with the new WP 7.02 version. (Every new version of Word Perfect seems to be not compatible with the version before as far as RTF is concerned.) The ALT+F2 foreign letter popup screen will show when doing a global change of locations or sources. Some people have reported problems doing an Alpha or Index sort. Some people experience the computer locking up when my program calls BKSORT.BAT to do the sort. I have temporarily added some new choices to help solve the problem. Press F7 at the main screen. It will give some other choices for doing the sort. If you do not press F7 it does a normal sort which calls the BKSORT.PIF file and runs BKSORT.BAT as a minimized window with focus. The other choices let you experiment to see if the sort will work for you with other options. If you are not having problems when making an alphabetical or index report, you do not need to try the other choices. On my computer, the sort works for any of the methods, but if the normal sort does not work for you, but one of the other choices does work, let me know. The F7 choices are temporary and last until you stop the program or press F7 to change the choice. Note: some people that have problems sorting are using SoftRam and only have 4 megs of real RAM. 01-May-97 Fixed problem with Ancestor Box chart if you asked for BK code numbers. Fixed problem with Ancestor Box chart if the foreign abbreviation for "buried" was over 4 letters long. Fixed problem on Register report, Preview if you asked for page numbers at the bottom of the page and the top margin was more than 0 Fixed problem if you did a Word search report in Alphabetical order, and then did a regular alphabetical custom report. Added two new lines to the workfile for the foreign translators. Line 2396 is "mother died before child born" and line 2601 is "please enter your name and address". 14-Apr-97 Fixed problem with Relationships, "Print box chart" that cause printer to be "busy" after printing it once. Fixed problem with Date Conversion routine. If a date had the month with more than 3 letters, it would sometimes remove the 4th letter. So 15 June 1997 would convert to 15 Jun 199 sometimes. Now it will ignore (not change) the date if it has more than 3 letters for the month. Having 4 letters for the month is not a format that BK will recognize as valid. Added "Print current page" to the workfile for foreign translators as line 1674. If a translator has the April 7 version of the translation program, he/she does not need the new workfile. Just use line 1674 for the "Print current page" menu item. 07-Apr-97 Added the Ancestor Box Chart. (9 generations of ancestors.) This version can read new language file created by the new version of WRDSETUP. So it can include the new translation lines for the 7 new reports. See Bulletin #3 on the BK BBS for more details. The new reports that were added in March 1997 will show if you are running the English version, or if the foreign translation has been updated to include the new lines, or if you press F5 at the main screen. Added ability of Gedcom import to read gedcom files from Family Tree Maker even if in version 5.0 gedcom. This version includes the Swedish translation also. 21-Mar-97 Added new feature to print current page when at the Preview screen. (for registered users only) Fixed a problem where the Backup routine would say a picture file was not found if it had *GROUP* on that line. Fixed overflow error on Graphic Bar Charts if over 32,000 names in your database. Fixed alignment problem on Graphic Bar Charts if you are using video mode 800 by 600 or higher with large fonts. Fixed problem when pressing ALT+F2 for the second or third source line. Fixed problem where F1 on Backup screen did not show correct help screen. Fixed problem on Ancestor chart where marriage date of first person did not show if person was female. Fixed problem on Ahnentafel book where spouse of first person did not show if person was female. Added List of Surnames (under Lists.) Added ability on the Compute Relationships screen to print a box chart (like Direct Lineage box chart in the DOS version.) This version can also show the box chart if the two related people are not in the same direct line. It uses some settings from the Box chart screen, such as name length, and whether to print locations or not. 12-Mar-97 Lots of changes in this version. This version will be on the BBS for a week or two, and then it will be on the web site after I receive a little feedback on the new reports. Fixed problem with spouse name going outside the box in the Box charts with locations. Fixed problem on Group sheets where it did not print the personal message if you turned off the option to form feed after each page. Fixed problem on Ancestor chart where marriage date and place did not show for person number 1 if female. NEW FEATURES: In Option area you can set option to change the printer to Landscape or Portrait for most reports automatically and change back after the report automatically. When you turn on this option, then the Save Options button on the reports will save the printer format you have set. So you can set the Box Charts to Landscape and pick Save Options and then it will always set to Landscape for the Box Charts and change back to normal when you leave that screen. In Option area there is a new option to not have the "cancel print" button try to clear the print job in Windows. A few people got a GPF when they cancel printing. With this option set, when you cancel will stop sending new information to the printer, but it is up to the user to go to Print Manager to delete the print job. Added Save Options button to some reports such as the Calendar, and Reasonableness report. Added the ability to include the REF: field on the Tree charts, Box charts, and Collapsed ancestor charts. In Option area you can set an option to have the Select Person screen show similar names in birth year order instead of BK code number order. So if you type the name John Smith it will show all John Smith names in birth year order. People with no birth year will appear first. NEW REPORTS (In English only currently) since the following reports are English only, they will not show on the main screen menu unless the English language is the current language. However, if users of a foreign language want to test these reports, then press F5 when the main screen is showing, and the new menu items will appear on the pull down menus. Notice to translators: Give me a couple weeks to get the new lines added to the workfile and then there will be a new WRDSETUP file to download - in a couple weeks. Direct Lineage report available from the Descendant report screen. (Pick Descendant from the main menu, then Descendant report, then click the option for direct lineage.) 3 by 5 cards available from the Lists (custom) screen. Include field 93 as the first and only field to print. Missing Information report available under Lists Locations with Events available under Lists Count of Descendants available under Descendants Graphs (bar charts) available under Other Tiny Tafel available under Other 11-Feb-97 Fixed a bug when making an Ahnentafel List, with relationships, and picking Create TXT file, it would output nothing to the TXT file and you needed to close the program. Now it correctly creates the TXT file and removes the "please wait". This version includes the German language files. The version you can download does not include the German manual, but the version shipping on diskette includes the German manual file also. 24-Jan-97 The install program includes a new version of Dutch. Fixed a problem with the Calendar chart where sometimes names overlapped in the overflow section at the bottom. Added a new feature in the Word search. In a date field you can type a date range. Type two years with == between them. (Two equal signs.) For example, in the birth date field type 1920==1929 and it will find everyone born from 1920 through 1929. Another example, to find everyone that was alive in 1880 put 1700==1880 in the birth date field and put 1880==2000 in the death date field. New feature on the Word search when creating a report. It used to only print the matching people in BK code number order. But now there is an option to print the matching names in alphabetical order. In custom reports, pick the tab in the middle to change to alphabetical. 07-Jan-97 The Install program has directions in English, French, German, and Norwegian. You can install BK for English, French, Danish, Norwegian, and Dutch. (Not German yet.) 31-Dec-96 The installation program will let you install English, French, and Danish versions. Fixed problem where Custom Ahnentafel report would sometimes have the wrong word for "Page". On the 4 Family Box chart, if you shorten names to less than 40 characters, it will also shorten the location names to less than 40 characters. This version allows the Sex field to be "V" for females. Dutch users used V and not F for the DOS version and this version will accept V or F or K for female. It will only accept what is in the language file when entering new people, but if you change languages to print a report, it will work with the other letters. Some users are not getting a match for names or locations if they type in an accented letter. I have found that the headers of the BK data files are slightly different depending on if the data files were first created with the DOS or Windows version of BK. To solve this problem, you can pick File, Convert data files from DOS to Windows and then press F5 and then pick Change headers only. Be sure you have a backup of your data files before you try this. I do not currently have a way to change the headers back to the DOS header, so if you do this you may have problems searching for names using the DOS version of BK5. 23-Dec-96 Added option for Word Perfect 7.0 when making RTF files. (Every version of Word Perfect seems to be incompatible with other versions of Word Perfect when reading RTF files.) Added option to include alternate name when printing register, indented, or ahnentafel book. Added option to show locations on Box chart. (But not on 4 family box chart yet.) Fixed several places where English was showing up in the foreign language versions. Such as "Spouse" on the ancestor chart and "see children above" on box charts. Fixed "subscript out of range" error if printing Ahnentafel report with over 25 generations. 10-Dec-96 Fixed problem with backup of text files. If the message line had $$ABCD.TXT it was calling the file CD.TXT on the A: diskette. If the message line had C:\BK5\ABCD.TXT then it was correctly called ABCD.TXT on the backup. Fixed problem on group sheets where sometimes the footnote number for a divorce for a child was overwriting some words. Fixed problem on group sheet where it was doing a form feed for every family when doing the descendants of a person and the option was set to not form feed. Modified the Unconnected person report to not show a person as unconnected if the first 2 spouses were blank, but the person did have a spouse in the 3rd or following position. Fixed problem on Multi-page Ancestor charts were it would not print the BK Code number when you asked for it. Also fixed problem where the wrong language line was printing instead of the word "page". 02-Dec-96 Fix overflow error if printing List of unconnected people and your database has over 32,000 people in it. Fixed line width on page 2 of box charts if you have set the option to have each page be a new print job. Fix problem when you double click on a person on the display List if the person has a BK number over 10,000. Fixed problem where the multi-disk Backup always went to drive A: On foreign translations, replaced "Page" with the non-English word. Replaced b. m. d. with the non-English abbreviations on Descendant report. Added "Calendar" on the File menu on Custom reports screen to translation workfile. Replaced "father" and "mother" with correct words if you are sending Group sheet to a text file. Put in a warning message if a person has saved a text file in Word or Word Perfect format by mistake. 22-Nov-96 Added new feature for people that need an unusual font such as Hebrew or Greek or another "non-standard" Windows font. They can go to Options, Edit screen and change the screen font. Do not do this unless you can not enter the letters you want the normal way (Alt+F2) Added new lines to the foreign translation program. This version will read the new lines for 4 family box chart and the Calendar. 18-Nov-96 Fixed a problem on the Convert Dates screen. The October version shifted the lines down so it did not match your existing dates correctly. This version fixes that. Fixed a problem where if you had the option set to show Baptized dates on the Register report, it sometimes did not work unless you clicked the option off and back on. This version allows longer names in the Index when printing an index after a book report. Fixed a problem where Foster and Other were switched on the screen that shows type of parent. This version allows sex for female to be F or K. Some languages, such as Norwegian, use K for female. Instead of having to change the database when switching languages, this version will accept either F or K in the existing data file. Fixed a problem for foreign languages that did not use CIR ABT BEF AFT as the abreviations for Circa, About, Before After. 12-Nov-96 Fixed a problem that was causing duplicate sources if the source had an accented letter in the first 40 characters. This version fixes that problem. Also, if you already have duplicate sources, then pick File, Sources, Change globally, and then press the F5 key and pick Merge duplicate sources. This version can print the location list in 2 columns. With this version, if you are displaying a list of names with List, Numeric display, or Alphabetical display or the others, you can double click on a name to jump to Edit. Fixed a problem where the picture would not print from the Edit Person screen if you had no heading for the picture. 07-Nov-96 Fixed a problem with Relationship report. In previous versions, if you ran the Box chart or Tree chart and then ran the Relationship report, it said 'not related' for everyone. Fixed a problem on the 4 Family Box Chart where it would sometimes give STAT=4 errors if the parents or grandparents had more than one marriage. 05-Nov-96 Fixed a problem where some people got a STAT=4 error message when adding the first child to a couple. This was related to the new feature that shows 'previous child was' when adding more children to an existing family. Fixed a problem with margins on Tree and Box charts. In previous versions, if you typed in a margin and did not use the up and down arrows, the new margin did not always work for the Tree and Box charts. Added margins to Calendar report. To make a half page calendar, set the bottom margin to 5.5 inches when in Portrait mode. (see calendar described below 4-Nov.) 04-Nov-96 Fixed a problem in the October version where an unregistered user would get a 'subscript out of range' error if they tried to use a feature that was for registered users only. Fixed a problem in the October version where if a person had a Jr or Sr after the name, it was treating that as the last name. Use the current version and pick Quality check to fix the alpha index. Fixed a problem with the Change Language routine. It was not changing to the new language if the name of the language file was 8 letters long. Added a new calendar report. Pick Lists, Birthday and then Preview the group you want and then pick File, Calendar. 31-Oct-96 Fixed a problem where sometimes the unconnected person display would say a person was unconnected if he/she had children but no spouse. Added option in gedcom to export with DOS character set or Ansel character set instead of just Windows chararacters. This is useful if you have accented letters in your names and are sending the gedcom to someone using DOS. 30-Oct-96 Added new report '4 family box chart.' See Descendant on menu. For this report, pick a starting person, such as yourself, and it will find your 8 great grand parents and show all of their descendants. Increased size of regular box chart to 1200 boxes wide and 18 generations. Increased size of collapsed ancestor chart to 2500 names. Added option to show BK code number on relationship report. Modified the Tree report so that if you are printing on continuous paper in Portrait mode, it will print one long continuous strip for the left side of the report all the way to the bottom before starting the right side of the report. Fixed 'overflow' error in Word search if you have over 32,000 names and the first matching name was after 32,000 Fixed error in Unconnected people report if you have over 32,000 names. Fixed problem in Ref order custom report. It was only showing the first name if you asked for field 3. Fixed problem where the total number of people was not increasing on the main screen if you picked Close on the Family Edit screen. It was only updating the main screen if you picked File, Close all. 24-Oct-96 Fixed a problem where you would get subscript out of range error doing a multi-disk compressed backup. Added new report under Lists for unconnected people. Added new report under Other for reasonableness check. (Help context for translators is 4571) Updated WRDSETUP.EXE for new lines for reasonableness check. 18-Oct-96 The program is now contained in two parts. BKSETUP.EXE and BKSETUP.W02 Download both parts. It is in two parts because the file is over 1.44 megs now. The WRDSETUP.EXE file is also available for those that want to translate the words into another language. You only need this program if you want to create your own translation. In other words, you want to translate words line by line. (modified WRDSETUP.EXE on 10-21-96 so that it can convert some of the lines from the old DOS version of WORKFILE.BK5.) There is a separate bulletin number 3 for translators to read. Added the option to change languages. It will still be English only until you make your own translation or you get another language file in the future. Added the option to compute the relationship between two people. Pick Other from the main menu. On the Family Edit screen, when you show all children, it will show the Baptized date for the child if the birth date is blank. Added a Restore function to restore backups. Added a way to backup text files and picture files Added option for margins on the Box chart On the Ancestor display, if you click on an ancestor and then want to come back down to the original person, look in the Children box and one person will have an * before the name. That is the child that links back to your starting person. Fixed a problem where if you changed the sex of a single person, and then went to add a spouse to that person it was not working right. Since there were thousands of changes made in order to make this version run in foreign languages, this version might have the wrong word or words in a few places. If so, notify John Steed by email. (Fixed English.bkw on 10-21-96 for the How to Register screen.) 16-Sep-96 The 20-Aug-96 version had a problem if you pressed ALT+F2 on the Edit Person screen. It would display both the foreign character set and the date calculator (F2). This version fixes that problem. Also fixes a problem for people that put ] in the Ref: field on the Register reports so that you can print the Ref: number after the person's name with [ ] around the number. 20-Aug-96 Added an option to try to solve a problem with certain Windows printer drivers. If you get strange results on page 2 of a report (such as highlighted letters at the top or such as missing text or missing lines) then pick File, Options, Other tab, and check the bottom option line which says 'check this box if the second page of reports do not print correctly.' Then pick File, Save. That option will cause BK to make every page a separate print job. Added option to compute date of birth based on date of death and age. Press F2 on the main 'welcome' screen or press F2 on the Edit Person screen. Added option to print pictures of children on group sheets. Added option to create separate RTF files for each generation of a book report (Register or Ahnentafel.) This may be useful for very long books that will not fit into your word processor as one file. --------------------------------------------------------- Back to home page
