Louis What is your (or rather Behold's) interpetation of the following dates: 13 13 APR 13 Apr 13 apr APR 2004 2004 Are they valid or invald GEDCOM 5.5.1? Brett

Louis I still do not believe either Tamura or yourself give enough credence to the GEDCOM validation Behold achieves. While Behold does not do consistency checks, the program should be recognised for the great GEDCOM validation. While I am unsure of any GEDCOM standard it does not compare, it certainly does a ...

Louis The latest version of Behold (1.0.1) reports 766: 2 DATE 26 MAY 1935 ** Date NonStd (#43): Should be "Sun 26 MAY 1935" to conform to GEDCOM standards. Is the date with Day part of GEDCOM 5.5.1, as it is not included in 5.5, or at least I cannot see where it is. Thanks

I notice that your comments have not been added to the Plimus blog. Have you heard back from them?

Louis: I am looking forward to the 'soon will have Behold to to convert their file back to standard GEDCOM'. By the way, what is your idea of standard GEDCOM, 5.5 or 5.5.1. Thanks

This is due to the participation of minimal (maybe that could read only Behold) Genealogy ...

Louis Thanks for the work and also going over previous posts prior to Vs 1 release. Keep up the good work. You must be heading towards the -30C time of the year, as we are already up to+28C here. Think we bypassed spring this year. Brett

With the crutches, you can sit back in comfortable chair and use them to do the typing. Keep up the good work. The weather there must be making the change towards cooler temperatures, as ours in Australia has started warming up. I love the days you show -30C and we show + 30C. Brett

Even though version 1 has not been released yet, I am sure we are all eagerly waiting for "Wow! This sounds just like editing data as I plan to allow it in Version 2 of Behold. In Behold’s Everything Report, see all your data, change it directly on the report. Scroll up and down and ensure everything is ...
