For a DATE value, I don't just compare the month-part to JAN, FEB, MAR,..., but I compare the uppercased value of the month-part to JAN, FEB, MAR,...

So what does:
values should be converted to all uppercase or all lowercase prior to comparing.
actually mean?

2. two supposedly identical GEDCOMs are compared for differences?
If 1 above, how does a user know it is being done ...

Brett,
See my blog post: How To Get A Developer To Fix A Bug.
No, Tamura's correct. The statement: "values should be converted to all uppercase or all lowercase prior to comparing" means that aPR and aPr should be both changed to APR (if uppercase is used for comparison) or to apr (if lowercase is used for ...

What do you make of Tamura Jone's comment (http://www.tamurajones.net/SiblingTortureTest.xhtml):
None of these produced any errors or warnings, except Behold 1.04.
Behold warned that the date 13 Apr 2012 is non-standard, and should be 13 APR 2012; the warning is that the abbrevation should be in ...

Version 1.0.5 (Life Events, Age at Events, Date Consistency Checking) - Forum post by lkessler in Questions and Answers - 9 Apr 2012
Brett:
Actually, no.
The log file is associated with the GEDCOM file that is input. If you input 3 GEDCOMs into Behold at once, then 3 log files are produced. It is designed to tell you what import problems happen from the GEDCOM file.
Once Behold has its own data file format, you will be reading from a .bhp ...

New: Add date consistency checking, that verifies event dates by comparing them with each person's birth and death dates and placing a message in the Everything Report next to the suspicious date.

cp:
Thanks for telling me of this. No, I didn't even think of probate when I put the "events after death" together.

Probate - Forum post by cp in Report a Problem - 19 Mar 2012
I noticed your recent blog post regarding correct ordering of dates (eg burial after death - which behold does correctly out of the box).
