GenDesigner Frequently Asked Questions                  Updated: June 18th, 1998
================================================================================

Q: What is an "alias" in GenDesigner?
A: An alias behaves like a shortcut to a file on your computer. It looks like 
   a copy of a person. An alias and its original are two "representatives" of 
   the same person. You may use it when a person appears more than once in a 
   tree. TIP: Try double-clicking an alias. It looks like an Internet hyperlink, 
   and that is almost what it is.

Q: How does one indicate divorce and remarriage?
A: This is not supported in the current version (1.5.3) but will be available
   from version 2.0, along with a lot of other usual genealogy tags.
   PS: You may indicate a second marriage if you create an alias, and links a 
   marriage to this item.

Q: I want to add more than 7 generations, how do I do this?
A: Right-click your mouse on the items on top of the tree, choose "Make this an
   alias", and place the item somewhere else. Then create a tree for this item.
   Do this with all the items on top of your tree.
     
Q: I can't download your program.
A: You should contact your Internet provider. 

Q: Is there any likelyhood of a Macintosh version of GenDesigner in the future?
A: I am sorry to say, for the time being, I don't have the capacity, 
   nor do I have the equipment.

Q: When will version 2.0 be released?
A: Hopefully, it will be released in late July / early August,  
   perhaps sooner. I will probably release some BETA versions first. 
   This will all be announced on the GenDesigner Home Page
