It would be impossible to give a short answer to your question because GenViewer is really loaded with features. I will give you a few things that I really like: 1) When viewing a database in the "List" tab, you can click on the column headings to sort the list like you would expect in a windows based list program. You can also customize the columns much like you would do in a spreadsheet. 2) You can have a filtered selection of the database highlighted in the lists. For example, on the Highlighting panel I asked that those with a spouse surname equal "Price" be shown. They are now very easy to spot in the list. 3) The File Search panel will locate all genealogical files on your computer. 4) GenViewer can open most genealogical files directly without conversion. 5) You can produce and print many reports that are not available in Legacy or elsewhere.
GenViewer was written by Luc who Millennia brought in-house to head up the nFS interface project called LegacyFS. Great programming, incredible price.
