Author: rakins@bcleng.co.nz (Robbie Akins)
Uploader: rakins@bcleng.co.nz
Type: biz/dbase
SPECIAL NOTE: This programme is supplied fully functional.
It is NOT disabled or "crippled" IN ANY WAY.
Scion Genealogist is a specialised database for keeping track of
genealogical information. It features a full, easy to use, Intuition
interface. Version 4.07 is a substantial upgrade to the earlier Version
3.13. See the "Scion.guide" help file for details on what's new.
The programme is totally non-sexist and secular in nature, and correctly
handles multiple marriages, "unconventional" marriages, adopted children,
and unmarried parents.
The printed reports include descendant and pedigree charts, personal details
reports, family group sheets, index lists of people and families, and many
others. See the "Scion.guide" help file for details on the new reports.
Free-form note files can be created using any editor, and IFF pictures can
be viewed using any IFF viewer, from within the programme.
Other features include dynamic on-screen ancestor and descendant charts,
extensive on-line context-sensitive help (using "AmigaGuide", © Commodore
Business Machines), flexible "regular expression" searching, and multiple
ARexx ports with extensive command set.
Locale support for alternative languages.
Can be used with PAL or NTSC. Works with floppy and/or hard disk drives,
although a hard disk drive is STRONGLY recommended.
Maximum number of people per database = 4999
Maximum number of marriages per person = 10
Maximum number of children per family group = 40
