Date phrase adding parenthesis - Forum post by lkessler in Report a Problem - 30 Jun 2014
Brett,
I don't think I have that in my datetest.ged file that I use for testing dates.
Since you've got interested in Behold's date checking again, would you mind doing me a favor. Take a look at my "Sort of a Date" blog post: http://www.beholdgenealogy.com/blog/?p=891
In there you'll find a link to my ...

Date validation - case sensitive - Forum post by lkessler in Report a Problem - 30 Jun 2014
Subsequent thinking on this makes me now believe that GEDCOM intended that only LINE_VALUEs that are an enumerated list of choices were to be allowed to be mixed upper and lower case.
A DATE_VALUE is a line value. But it is not made up of an enumerated list of choices. It is made up of a substructure, with ...

Progress report??!! - Forum post by lkessler in Questions and Answers - 30 Jun 2014
Brett,
Well, I can give excuses. :-(
My father passed away in March. And I've had to put a lot of extra time in my day job for the past few weeks. That should be done in a week or two, and I should be able to get back to Behold again in earnest.
I still hope to achieve most of my new years resolutions. I've ...

Date phrase adding parenthesis - Forum post by brett in Report a Problem - 30 Jun 2014
I am wondering if the action and warning:
248: 2 DATE 01 MAR
** Date Invalid (#1): This date does not conform to GEDCOM standards.
could be changed to
248: 2 DATE 01 MAR
** Behold will change this to a date phrase by adding parenthesis.(#10): This date does not conform to GEDCOM standards.

GEDCOM Validation - which version used - Forum post by lkessler in Questions and Answers - 29 Jun 2014
Brett,
Behold's GEDCOM validation does not currently validate to specific versions and does not understand the specific syntax of any particular version. It is also not comprehensive and won't find everything.
Right now, it detects certain illegalities common to all versions, including some illegalities that ...

Long time no chat.. - Forum post by lkessler in General Discussion - 14 May 2014
Hi Herb,
Thanks for the nice words, and your patience. I was sure Behold would work fine under a Windows emulator on the Mac, but I believe you are the first one to tell me that you are doing it. When I eventually port Behold to the Mac (unfortunately will be a while), I'll be doing the opposite and having a ...
