This program is too large to run from a 360K diskette. You must
have a hard drive. The program is distributed in a PKZIP file. Run
the INSTALL program to automatically create a sub-directory called
TREE on your hard drive if you do not know how to extract ZIP
files. On distribution disks of this program the following files
will be found:
README Readme documentation
INSTALL.BAT The installation batch file
CTREE33.ZIP Cumberland Tree ZIP file
PKUNZIP.EXE PKZIP extract program
To install type:
INSTALL <origination drive letter> <destination drive letter>
EXAMPLE: INSTALL A C
To start program type: CTREE <enter>
The program comes with a small sample database which can be
used to study the program. To clear out the database, use the
"Empty Data Files" selection from the F2-Files Menu. A manual is
included on this disk. To print the manual, select "Print Manual"
from the "F7-Utilities" menu.
===================================================================
WARNING! This program holds data in memory and automatically saves
data as you exit the program. DO NOT TURN OFF THE COMPUTER or
REBOOT WHILE THE PROGRAM IS RUNNING. Data in memory will not be
written to disk and unrecoverable data corruption will occur.
Please backup regularly to insure against inadvertent problems such
as a power failure.

CUMBERLAND TREE: THE BEST GENEALOGY PROGRAM AVAILABLE!
Rated FOUR STARS by Public Brand Software
The CUMBERLAND TREE Family Tree program is a shareware application
program for doing genealogy work. It allows entry of individual
names, birth, christening, marriage, death and burial dates and
places tying them all together automatically as a family and
extended family structure. It's features include:
* Friendly pop-up menus and screens with extensive on-line help.
Much easier to use than other genealogy programs which use the
old fashioned menu driven approach. No other program contains
as much on-line help.
* Surnames are allowed at beginning, middle or ending of name for
full international compatibility. This feature is unavailable
in other programs. People from Asian descent CANNOT use any
other program without changing the order of their names.
* Automatic entry of father's surname when a child is added.
Automatic entry of child's surname when a father is entered.
This feature is unknown in any other program. If the surname is
not correct then simply over write it.
* Enter place names only once! The ability to enter a place name
once and select it from an easy to use pop-up window forever
after is unknown in any other program. This is an enormous
time saver as many genealogies are filled with many people who
were born, married, and died in the same town for several
generations. The re-typing of places names (as is done in other
programs) is very time consuming.
* Printing of pedigree charts, descendants, family group sheets,
individual and marriage listings, birthday, anniversaries,
ordinance check lists and other reports. Includes on-screen
viewing of printed reports.
* GEDCOM import/export utility is available to registered users.
* LDS ordinance fields and submission forms.
* A printable manual.
===================================================================
VERSION 3.3 IMPROVEMENTS
* New non-LDS Family Group report.
* Manual sent to registered users now contains an index.
* Number of lines of notes has been doubled. Ten lines are now
available.
* "?" now allowed in sex field as long as individual is not
married.
* Delete, edit and merge place names now allows jump to location in
place list by pressing the first letter of the name.
* Pointing to child on main screen, then pressing "C" now allows
current Family Group to be changed to child without "Choose
Child" pop-up selection screen.
* Bug in GEDCOM importing of NOTE fields fixed.
===================================================================
If you are upgrading from CUMBERLAND TREE 3.x make certain you
backup your data files before installing this program. Restore the
files listed under CUMBERLAND-TREE-DATA-FILES below after
installing Version 3.3.
If you are upgrading from a EASY-TREE Ver 2.x you must have the
program CONV2TO3.EXE, which is available to registered users only.
You must specify on the registration form that you need this
program or it will not be sent.
1. Copy the files (in your CUMBERLAND TREE sub-directory)
listed under CUMBERLAND-TREE-DATA-FILES below to a safe
directory or a floppy disk for later restoration. (There
were only seven files in the earlier version.)
2. Install the new version of CUMBERLAND TREE as explained
above. The new directory will be called TREE. The old EASY-
TREE directory was called ET.
3. Copy the saved seven files from step 1 back to the \TREE
sub-directory.
4. Run the program CONV2TO3.EXE to convert data. (If you had
other sub-directories with TREE data, then rerun this
program for each sub-directory in which you have old EASY-
TREE data.)
5. Reset your printer control codes under F5-Print1/Printer
Setup. The current sub-directory will be reset to the
default directory.
