BUGS.TXT: Comment on bugs in Geni
=================================

I am not aware of any bugs in Geni or Ged2Geni otherwise I wouldn't release
the program for you to use! However, if you do find a problem then PLEASE
tell me and I will fix it right away. I cannot do anything unless users tell
me when things go wrong!

ONE IMPORTANT point is that you can not use Ged2Geni to create a Geni file
on your Flash disk. Ged2Geni will not let you do this anymore (earlier
versions did as they weren't aware of the problem). If you want to keep your
Geni database on a Flash disk you must create it either on the internal drive
or a RAM disk first and then copy it onto the Flash disk. I will rectify this
problem in version 2.00.


Problems with Geni 1.51
=======================

This version was released to fix a few problems that users had reported when
using Geni 1.50. These were mainly involving the BIN library files and so
this release has solved the problem by getting rid of them! However, there
were some other bugs which went unnoticed:

   * If the marriage date or place was not specified no marriage details
     were displayed.
   * Individuals with multiple spouses, each with long names, caused a few
     small dots to be left at the far right hand side of the screen.


Problems with Ged2Geni 1.52
===========================

This version was released to cure the same problems that Geni 1.51 suffered
from. Likewise there were some bugs that had not been detected before:

   * Error saving the "extras" information if the default disk was not set
     to the internal drive.
   * Saving Geni databases on a Flash disk took much longer than necessary
     and used far more memory than it should do. This is a design fault and
     will be fixed in version 2.00


Problems with Geni 1.50
=======================

Geni 1.50 was quite a major upgrade from Geni 1.20 and like many new products
it suffered from one or two teething problems.

   * Crashes with a LOADO error if GENILIB.BIN was incorrectly installed.
   * Crashes with "Service not supported" if GENILIB.BIN was corrupted
     during installation.
   * Pressing the DIAMOND key to move from the details display back to the
     tree display didn't work. Users had to press the key twice.
   * A couple of mistakes in the detailed help system were found.


Problems with Ged2Geni 1.50
===========================

   * Crashes with a LOADO error if GEDLIB.BIN or TAGLIB.BIN are incorrectly
     installed. Early releases of GedGeni 1.50 also crashed if these files
     were not on the internal drive.
   * Crashes with "Service not supported" if GEDLIB.BIN or TAGLIB.BIN were
     corrupted during installation.
   * Extremely slow processing of GEDCOM from Family Tree Maker. Users with
     this problem will find Ged2Geni 1.51 is nearly twice as fast now.
   * GEDCOM from PAF 3.0 wasn't dealt with properly which meant Geni wasn't
     able to display christening or burial details.
