Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Web Family Tree

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Peter Moylan <peterDESPAM at DESPAMpmoylan.org>

Web Family Tree (WFT) has just been upgraded to version 1.4. You can get
it from
          http://www.pmoylan.org/pages/os2/wft.html
   or    ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/software/wft14.zip
   or    search for "wft" on Hobbes. 
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?key=wft

The main new feature is the ability to display photographs, but there are 
several other improvements.

WFT is a freeware application to display your family tree as a set of web 
pages. If you want to see a demonstration, look at my own family tree at 
http://www.pmoylan.org. This web site also contains an on-line manual for 
WFT. The source code is available separately, for those who want it, from 
any of the three download locations mentioned above.

As with all reputable software, de-installation is easy if you decide you 
don't want to keep it.

Although an OS/2 web server is a prerequisite, you don't need a public web 
site if you don't want it. If you don't have a domain name or a fixed IP 
address, or if you simply want to keep your WFT pages private, you can 
still run a web server that responds only to the loopback address 
(localhost = [127.0.0.1]). The web server that I recommend (web/2 by dink) 
is elementary to install even by novices. If you prefer a different OS/2 
web server, WFT will work with that too.

LIST OF CHANGES (since version 1.2)

Version 1.4      (25 December 2007)
    Added fixup.cmd to the distribution.
    Added language files for Dutch (non-expert translation!).
    More informative web page title.
    Provision for optional photographs in individual
        records and family records.
    Added a "display all databases" option.
    Added cache control for faster loading.
    Argument separator changed to '&', although ';' is
       still allowed for backwards compatibility.
    Added an "alias" field.
    Added the Ged2HTML utility.
    Minor efficiency: deleted trailing spaces in names.
    Reduced the size of the partial tree for ease of
