Version 90

[Howard Metcalfe]

PAW2U is the universal binary version of Personal Ancestry Writer II, aka PAWriter.

The following change was made in this PAWriter version 90 (posted on Sunday, 22 November 2009):

• An error in GEDCOM import introduced in version 88 was corrected. It caused all text to run together.

Thank you for this wonderful program! I really do appreciate it.

Hi Howard
I have now been using latest versions of PAW2U for routine recording and printing since early November, so seems a good time to report. Though generally replicating the non-universal program for the user, is a real improvement, particularly noticeable:
- faster response
- more stable
- cut & paste from the notes to other programs now works (for paragraphs I think)
I haven't had to use many of the less usual menu items but I haven't found any glitches yet. One minor irritation is that when saving notes I often get warnings about US postcodes which of course are anyway not applicable to the UK eg "1 possible problem found:1 occurrence of an unexpanded postal code: ME."
Summary: great program very cleverly realised in the new universal version. Thanks
Kind regards
Roger

Hi Roger,

Yes, it is a real improvement. Quadruple speed, odd crashes gone. Sorry about the warning for unexpanded postal codes; really needed it myself; best to keep other text normally capitalized to minimize the warnings. Thanks for your report.

Version 91 should be posted next Friday. A few obscure problems fixed, and lists of people now include all people regardless of the number of people on file -- jillions of them, if you have that many on file, all in the same listbox.

Best,
Howard
