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 should not use Ged2Geni to create a Geni file
on your Flash disk. 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 hope to rectify this problem for 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. Hopefully these have all been
fixed in this version (1.51).

The known problems with Ged2Geni 1.50 are:
   * Crashes with a LOADO error if GEDLIB.BIN or TAGLIB.BIN are incorrectly
     installed. Early releases of Geni 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.


Problems with Geni 1.50 are:
   * 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.
