Dear Your Family Tree User:

        Your Family Tree 2.2 has been fully tested with Workbench
2.04 and Kickstart 37.175 as well as Workbench 1.3.  Besides the
compatibility issues that have been addressed, we have also made
some minor enhancements and improvements to YFT.

NOTE:  The data file structure has NOT been changed.  No data
conversion is necessary for data files created with YFT 2.0 or
2.1 to be used with YFT 2.2.

        Below are a few of the corrections/improvements that have
been made, along with any known problems:

        When canceling an Add or Edit of a family record,
    YFT now asks "Are you sure you want to cancel?" to
    provide an escape in case CANCEL was accidentally
    selected.

        YFT now uses EDITOR and VIEWER environment
    variables.  If an environment variable is defined
    (using the DOS SETENV command), YFT will use the
    defined editor/viewer.  If the environment variable is
    not defined, then YFT will use its own built-in viewer
    and the editor that has been defined on the YFT Options
    Screen.  When defining a viewer/editor you must include
    the full path and name of the viewer/editor.  Example:

              SETENV EDITOR sys:tools/memacs

    Refer to your Amiga DOS manual for more information
    about the SETENV command.

        On Multi-Page Pedigree Charts, "Spouse of Person
    #1" did not always print the correct spouse.  YFT would
    always print the first spouse of Person #1, even when a
    different spouse is included as part of the pedigree on
    the preceding chart.  Version 2.2 of YFT will now print
    the correct spouse.

        YFT 2.2 now uses the standard Workbench 2.04 File
    Requester.  Under WB 1.3 YFT will revert to it's own
    file requester.

        When children without known birthdates are
    entered/linked to families in the database, YFT will
    now sort them IN THE ORDER IN WHICH THEY WERE ENTERED.

        List of Individuals by Surname or Reference ID now
    produces a list with the surnames lined up at column
    12.  Reference IDs are right-justified to column 10.

        YFT 2.2 now properly handles pictures with spaces
    in the filename.

        Under WB 2.04, the menu shortcut keys do not
    operate when the cursor is active in any of the data
    fields.  This is caused by a change in the way
    Intuition (Workbench) processes the special menu
    keystrokes when the cursor is active.

        All gadgets (buttons) now have the "3-D Look" of
    WB 2.04,  even when running under WB 1.3.

        When saving a file (.LST, .NOTE, .SRCH, etc.)
    under WB 2.04, the file requester colors are inversed
    as a visual signal that you are SAVING.  Also, you
    cannot double click on a file in the list when saving.
    You MUST click on OK or SAVE to save the file using the
    selected filename.
 
        Under WB 2.04 the file requester will NOT
    automatically add the extension to a file (.LST .NOTE
    .SRCH etc).  The file pattern is shown on the file
    requester, but you MUST TYPE the extension on the
    filename when you are saving.

        Descendant Chart will now truncate each line that
    would print past the right margin.  This is most
    noticeable when using 10 cpi.  It is best to use 17 cpi
    if you have long names and/or if you intend to print a
    chart more than 6 generations deep.


	The WB 2.04 File Requester will now center itself on
    the YFT window.

	Monthly List of Birthdates  no longer crashes if there
    are more than 40 people with birthdates in a given month.

	Listing individuals by Birth, Death, etc will now put 
    up the black "please wait" box while the individuals are
    being sorted. This bug was usually only noticeable with 
    large data files.

	When entering dates, BEF is now equivalent to BFR.  
    This will make YFT dates more compatible with other 
    genealogy programs (through GEDCOM).

	YFT now uses that standard WB 2.04 busy pointer (the
    clock) and most animated busy pointer programs should also
    animate the YFT busy pointer.

        There have also been many minor fixes, mostly in the
    reports section.

   The YFT utilities package is progressing.  Watch for announcements 
in genealogy and Amiga magazines and a direct mail offer when we begin
to ship the new product.

    If you have any suggestions for improvements that you would
like to see, feel free to contact MVP Software.  A MAJOR upgrade
to Your Family Tree is being planned for the future.  This will
include many new features and enhancements.   We always welcome your
ideas and comments to make YFT a more usable product. 


Thank You for using Your Family Tree,
