You can get it from http://www.pmoylan dot org/pages/os2/wft.html or from ftp://ftp.pmoylan dot org/software/wft_2.1.zip or from Hobbes incoming. If you want to see the manual before downloading, that is readable at http://www.pmoylan dot org/cgi-bin/readinf.cmd?English/wft.inf+toc If you want to see what it does, check an example at http://www.pmoylan dot org/cgi-bin/wft.cmd?D=moylan;P=I004 Sucpported languages are Danish, German, English, French, and Dutch, but it is elementary to add support for other languages. WFT takes genealogical information from a GEDCOM file, and displays it as a set of web pages, one page per person. If you are doing any genealogical research you probably know what a GEDCOM file is. If not, you need to know that this is a common format used for storing family tree data. The package also includes some utilities for operating on GEDCOM files. The previous version of WFT was very slow to render the "ancestry" view of a person, because of a faulty implementation of index files. This has now been fixed, and the new rendering is fast. The WIFE/HUSB information in a GEDCOM file does not imply any information about marital status, which makes it awkward to display such information. For the English-language display, a decision has been taken to have no label at all for the "partner" person. This change has not been made for the other supported languages, but since all such labels are kept in a "language" file wft.xx.lng, the system manager can make any desired changes. -- Peter Moylan mailto://peter at pmoylan dot org http://www.pmoylan dot org -- For a choice in the future of personal computing, Join VOICE - http://www.os2voice dot org [Moderator's note: All posts are sent without guarantee to the accuracy of the content.
