I have downloaded the trial of RM4 and find the new features enhance an already excellent program. However I would like to be able to produce a ‘family report’ that can include a mother + illegitimate child by father ‘unknown’ + a step father and further half siblings born later. This family were from the 19 Century but blended together well living happily as a family. I want to reproduce them as a whole family on the same page.

Anonymous, RM4 will be a native Windows program, so it won’t run directly on a Mac. But if you have Fusion, Parallels, or any of the other Windows emulators on your Mac, RM4 will run under them.

I really hope version 4 will be completely compatable with Vista and also allow us to restore backups that were created in XP. Presently, backups moved from XP to Vista cause lots of Multimedia problems becuase of different file systems.

Thanks and keep up the good work. Still the best genealogy software available.

Started with DOS Family Origins then to Family Tree Maker and various other programs during the hiatus.

Was sooooo happy to find RM3. Use it with Vista with no aparent problems

One area I would to see improved over RM3 is the addition of more reports and wall chart capabilities. So, my vote is to wait for the reports then publish RM4. One of my pet peave with one competetor was the constant upgrades they made available at every turn, it reaks planned obsolecenced (sp).

Keep up the good work of providing the best software available for the money, a proven good business aproach.

Bruce, you and I have known each other since Family Origins was a DOS program. I am quite content to let you release your best effort and either provide the updates and additional reports as minor upgrades to v. 4, or to allow them to be part and parcel of an early release of v.5

However, for me, for now, I really want to get my hands on Version 4
