Welcome to Desert Gen2HTML Version 2.04 © 1996-1997 Terence M. Nichols Last updated 22 Apr 1997 18:28:04 by Terence Nichols This is an update release of DGen © a Scion © Genealogy Database to Hyper Text Markup Language page producing program for the Amiga © Computer. This program is not Public Domain although it has been released under a modified form of the GNU Public Licence as Shareware. Please read the Licence Agreement. Special thanks to Robbie J. Akins for creating Scion © and Neil Simmonds for inspiring me to finally complete version 2.0 of DGen2HTML and for his constructive comments during initial construction. This program is dedicated to my lovely Wife (Mandy). Who supplied me with meals, understanding and love etc. during the long days and nights that it has taken to rebuild DGen ©. DGen is an Arexx © program script and requires : Scion 4.09 © rexxtricks.library © rexxreqtools.library © The above can be found in the Aminet Amiga Archive in : biz/dbase/Scion409.lha util/rexx/RexxTricks_386.lha util/rexx/RexxReqTools.lha DGen has been completely rebuilt and has had many new features included. All configuration is via the DGen2HTML.rexx program icon. The major benefit of this new version of DGen © is the huge savings that are achieved by the redesign of the index and personal pages. NOTE : - Version 2.04 now builds the correct links into the GENDEX.txt file. In my rush to complete V2.03 I forgot to ensure the links were correct in the GENDEX.txt file. Again I thank Neil Simmonds for his assistance in reporting this error. Version 2.03 is a update due to a couple of major errors that were overlooked in earlier versions I appologise for any inconvenience. Version 2.03 now correctly handles multiple part SURNAMES. It was a gross error on my part that I failed to take this into concideration earlier and I thank Neil Simmonds for pointing this MAJOR ERROR out to me. NEW FEATURES 2.03 : BIG PAGES : I have taken the opportunity to add the BIG PAGES option to this version of DGen. Big Pages gives the user the option of putting all the Scion information into the alphabetical index pages without creating the personal pages. Advantages : Maximum of 30 pages produced Less online storage requirements Disadvantages : Longer loading times for pages VIEW : Another minor addition is the VIEW option. This option when set to 1 will automatically load the DGen index page into Voyager-NG if Voyagers arexx port is available. Why did I add this option ? Well, it saves loading the page manually :-) Undocumented features (BUGS) should be reported to Terence Nichols at spinne@networx.net.au FEATURES : User definable colors for each page type User configurable Data Fields Data fields not displayed if empty User definable text and HTML code Before the quick index SURNAMES listing (prequick.txt) After the quick index SURNAMES listing (postquick.txt) In the main frame - This window (intro.txt) After the alphabetical NAMES listing (postindex.txt) After the Individual Page data (postpage.txt) Additional Text for Non Frames Based Browsers (noframes.txt) ICON TOOLTYPES REAL_NAME= Real Name ie.

Add additional user options for the User Text Files : Date Time Database Name Email Address homepage address Localisation ????? Give the user additional configuration options : Font : Size Color Etc.
