Be careful what you wish for. FTM was a good program until they did a total re-write and made it a totally different program in 2008. That is why I switched to Legacy.
Roland Rhoades Maine Families Genealogist www.RolandRhoades.com [email protected] 2010: 30 Years as a Genealogist From: Larry Lee [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 06, 2013 1:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Version 8 Ron, Bob, etal., I do not know what a total rewrite would entail but I suspect it would take an enormous investment of resources in time, retraining, staff and money. It seems to me that to do this, since they are a small company, would require charging double or triple at retail and possibly kill their free Basic version. Would you be willing to accept this? I too would like to see major improvements along these lines, but as an average home genealogist, and retiree I don't want to pay an outrageous price for my software. As it is Millennia is very responsive to their user base and have consistently added new and improved features, largely suggested by their users.

After five plus years of hearing (reading) that response, I have come to the conclusion that the odds of me winning a multi million dollar lottery prize is much greater than ever seeing the proverbial "total rewrite".

So that's an indication that version 8 hasn't changed anything in that area. What's really wanted is a Multiple Document Interface system, but that would entail a total rewrite. For the foreseeable future, you'll just have to put up with the Split Screen feature :-) If five years wasn't long enough for the often-promised total rewrite, we all know that it will NEVER happen and we will be stuck in pre-1995 computing standards forever.
