It is pretty thorough, but doesn't take the place of all paper records. What it does is store basic information (birth, death, etc.) for each person and shows relationships from family groups (huband,wife, children) and will print a tree on down through however many generations you have entered. The manual is simple and has some tips in it also. Address is FARNA Systems, Box 321, Warner Robins, GA 31099-0321 Oh yes, there is a demo in the CoCo SIG database. You can't input anything, but you can view the truncated records on the disk. Even though the screen says it won't print, it will!

Any > gotchas I need to know to get it up and running on my MM/1a? > > Has anyone got any FAX software for the MM/1 about ready to release to the > paying public? It took me a little while, and a little help from RANDYKWILSON in conf one night to get my viva 14.4 running smoothly. Here are some of the things I didn't know at first. The thing runs at two rates -- one from computer to modem and another on the phone line. Which one it reports on connect is controlled by the setup commands. If you start out as confused as I was, you may think you have found a 9600 baud connection just because your modem says CONNECT 9600 -- not necessarily so. Set the port to the highest speed that the modem and computer can handle -- mine is at 38400. InfoXpress works better if you bump the process priority a little ahead of everything else when you call it. Sterm seems to like it too. -- like " ix ^150 ". TIMKIENTZLE uploaded os9fax -- I use it a lot for sending -- don't have a receive program yet. MARKGRIFFITH was working on adding FAX to a new version of STERM -- haven't heard a progress report on that in some time -- he's pretty busy with the magazine. ******************************** "Don't take life too serious - it ain't nohow permanent" (Pogo) John R.

Shortly, it will be move to its permanent directory. Well almost made it on time. :-( I said UUCPbb would be released on April 2 by hook or crook. I didn't count on my mail feed's system crashing over the weekend nor a Multipak whose 5 volt supply decided to become intermittant. BUT the gremlins have not won!! I know I promised the release back in December. Then it was April 2. Y'all probably thought it was vaporware. Thanks for being patient. I hope the wait was worth it. The only "victim" of my flaky Multi-pak was the installation software I was working on. This will be released shortly. The docs should suffice although it will require a little more work on your part part then I intended. Sorry about this, but I didn't want to you make y'all wait another week or two. What UUCPbb is NOT ------------------ UUCPbb allows you to run a UUCP node on your OS-9 system. UUCPbb is NOT a terminal program. UUCPbb is not a BBS program; although it could be interfaced with one. UUCPbb will NOT connect you to the Internet. You can make use of some systems which are on Internet and provide access via e-mail. But you will not be on the Internet. So what the heck is it? ----------------------- UCPbb is an update of the UUCP software Rick Adams wrote a few years ago for the Tandy Color Computer 3 running OS-9 Level 2. It gives you a way to hook your CoCo or OSK machine to the world UUCP network for exchanging email, news and files. The original software has been extensively rewritten with many new features added. It was ported to OS-9/68K; although not to OS-9000--yet. ;-) The features include: * Calling multiple systems from a single command line * Ability to process mail after each call, after all call (when calling more than one system), or not until a later time. * Retrying a call every few minutes if the initial call fails * Improved logging of call progress and error messages. * Tested with UUCPs on DEC Ultrix, Taylor (GNU), UUPC (MS-DOS), whatever UUNET Technologies uses, HoneyDanBer, and itself. * Improved mailer with lots more features. In addition, Jeff Shepler's Elm-like mailer, Palm, is has been ported. * Software to let you read and send Usenet news. * Mini-listserver written and donated Rick. (Thanks Rick!) Now you, too, can be a fileserver! :-) * Utilities to do UUCP administrative chores. How much does it cost? ---------------------- Zilch...nada...nothing! Thanks to Rick, UUCPbb is released as free software under the GNU General Public License. Where do I get it? ------------------ The official site for this and all updates will be the OS-9 archive site on the Internet. Right now, this chestnut.cs.wisc.edu. It will also be posted to Delphi, (I hope) Compuserv and various landline BBS. Official updates will always show up on chestnut first. It will probably be on the OS-9 mirror archive site, wuarchive, after a short while. What do I need? --------------- A 512K (128K may work but it hasn't been tested) CoCo 3 running OS-9 Level 2, with a hard drive. Floppies may work, but it will be painfully slow (I know ran it on 720K *halting* floppy controller system!), a C compiler (UUCPbb is distributed as C source only). For OSK, you need any OSK machine with either Microware's Ultra C or C compiler ver3.2. And of course, you need these files: README.bb -brief summary of UUCPbb uucpbb20.lzh -the source code ~ uucpbm20.lzh -docs and other files to make life easier :-) Not required but a good idea for OS-9/6809: clib1990.lzh -this is the 1990 edition of Carl Kreider's CLIB cc250.lzh -latest replacement of Carl Kreider's C compiler executive updated by Vaughn Cato. Definitely worth having! All the archives were created with LHA211. To burst the archives under OS-9/6809, you will either need LHA211 or UNLZH7. UNLZH7.AR is available on chestnut.cs.wisc.edu ===> OSK users <<=== You will need to use LHA v2.0.1 to burst the archives. Later versions of LHA will extract files with junk attached and give CRC errors. Questions or comments can be sent by email to me. Share and enjoy! More is on its way! ;-) Bob -*- FORUM>Reply, Add, Read, "?" or Exit>
