Howard Metcalfe has released Personal Ancestry Writer II (PAWriter II) version 48 (4 Dec 2005). PAWriter II is a Mac (MacOS 8.6/9 or Mac OS X ) genealogy application that has most of the features found in the original Personal Ancestry File (PAF) for Mac, as well as additional publishing features (HTML/Web, word processing, desktop publishing (DTP)).
Additions:
* New menu item, File > Write HTML > Pedigree of This Person. It produces an HTML file containing a pedigree of the current person and all of his/her ancestors that are on file. The pedigree is formatted in the same text-oriented way as is a web site pedigree. For very extensive pedigrees, PAWriter might take a while to produce the file. This menu item is disabled if the current person has no ancestors.
Note: When printing the pedigree from your browser, select any option to “shrink pages to fit.” In Internet Explorer or Netscape, this option is available from the File > Print Preview menu item. This option ensures that the pedigree will fit on one page across, with one or more pages down.
*Preference for breaking long GEDCOM notes between non-space characters (GEDCOM 5.5 standard for CONC lines). Previous versions of PAWriter broke those lines on a space character (non-standard but frequently used). Be sure to use the same method both when you export a GEDCOM file and then import that file. If you don’t, extra spaces will appear or valid spaces will disappear in the notes.
