Also with the new Richview package, I have to update the Richview help file and the Richview demo files. I always go through the new help file to see what new features were added. The demos are always useful to see how to do things with Richview.

I get all sorts of ideas for Behold, not only from what I want to do and other Genealogy programs and suggestions from others, but also from demos such as those that come with Richview, other related programs of various types including Word Processors, Text Editors, Organizers, Bibliography indexers, Microsoft Office, and just about everything else. Also, my large collection of Delphi books has many examples and ideas that I use. And the huge collection of Delphi tools and programs and tips and source code and sample programs really gives me an enormous resource. Generally, if there is something I want to do, Delphi will have a way of doing it, and in many cases there are sources I can go to that will make the implementations easier.

Of course, it is up to me to put all this together into a logical organized tool that is designed to really help a Family Researcher/Genealogist. My ideas stuff several large binders right now. I simply have to get through it all bit by bit to get to my first release and finally to Version 2 (with editing) and beyond.
