Personal Ancestry Writer II v49 (23 Feb 2006)

Personal Ancestry Writer II (PAWriter II) version 49 was released today. Personal Ancestry Writer II is a MacOS/Mac OS X Genealogy Application designed to have many of the same features found in the original Personal Ancestral File (PAF) for Mac. This version adds navigation using the arrow keys in both the navigation and pedigree windows.

Changes:
* Added larger typeface for zoomed notes as a preference.
* In both the navigation window and the pedigree window (in addition to typing F, M, P and B), added up-arrow for father, down-arrow for mother, right-arrow for partner and left-arrow for back.
* Corrected the generation number in the pedigree window when using these keyboard actions. As a result, it was necessary to change next/previous/first/last person in the navigation window to use command-right/left/up/down arrow.
* Updated Reference Guide to reflect above changes.

Classic Environment on an Intel-Based Mac

HardMac.com has information about software that may possibly run MacOS 7, 8, or 9, under an Intel-based Mac. Originally the software was being developed to run under Linux or PowerPC based Macs, however it has been ported to Intel Macs. Note that the developers don’t have access to an Intel Mac just yet, however this looks promising.

The project is called SheepShaver, and it’s Open Source. On a PowerPC Mac, it runs the applications at native speeds, otherwise it emulates some of the hardware. It runs MacOS 7.5.2 thru MacOS 9.0.4.

Give this project a few months, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see something come out of it that works. This would be important to those Mac-based genealogists who are using older software that runs under a Classic environment, and who want to upgrade to a new iMac or MacBook Pro, while still using the older software.
