Stephen:Those are not tags in the official GEDCOM. It looks like Legacy adds them. I think you'll find them in Legacy's Marriage Information. HTITL and WTITL probably stand for Husband's Title and Wife's Title and appear in Legacy's marriage information in the Report Phrases section under "Left label" and ...

Thank you David for your ideas. I think your advice is the correct advice. I have very strong feelings AGAINST merging other people's data into one's own. I'd go even farther and say that you should NOT add other people's data to your own. Behold will be introducing a concept I call "Virtual Merging". I ...

Thanks very much for reporting this. Behold should not lock up on a file that small, so this is a problem I would really like to identify and fix as quickly as possible.TMG, being so powerful, often includes different things in its GEDCOM than other programs do. I have tested a few TMG GEDCOMs, but the ones I ...

When Version 0.98.9 comes out in a few weeks, there will yet another speed improvement. This one will be amazing: about 5 times faster!Yet, I still see some places I can squeeze even more out before the Beta release.Louis

Thanks Steve, for pointing this out. While I was implementing those links, I noticed that as a problem. But I thought I had fixed it. It seems that I've fixed some of the cases but not all, as I found some files where it happens and some where it doesn't - and that's very peculiar. I'll trace it down and get it ...

To everyone: I put a very high importance on fixing bugs like this ASAP. Please do not hesitate to report them to me. A new bugfix version, 0.98.7a is now the one available. If you upgraded to 0.98.7 a couple of days ago, please upgrade again.Louis

It's good so far. But there is still quite a bit of improvement possible. I hope to decrease the time taken in just about every new version that comes out.Still, loading a large GEDCOM into Behold is like loading a several thousand page document into Microsoft Word. So there are limits - but even those can be ...

Most genealogy programs do have individual-to-individual charts, sometimes known as relationship charts. If that's all you need, then I believe the free version of Legacy has this. See: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/rptRelationshipChart.asp)What Behold does that is different from the rest is it allows you to ...

I've done some work to prevent certain types of lockups in Behold, and this will be in the next version. It will prevent you from interrupting a processing task with another processing task. See the July 25, 2006 entry in my Behold Blog for more details.

Thanks, Mala, for reporting this. Yes, I do want to fix it. I usually have to be able to reproduce the error myself so that I can trace where it is happening and fix it. The easiest way for me to do this is if I had a copy of the GEDCOM you used that produced the error. If you wouldn't mind sending it to me, my ...
