I'd like to up the count for including provisions for same sex
marriage, "significant others", poly-amorous, etc.
But also, switching to a different underlying database program.
Anything so fragile as to need constant check/repairs is far too fragile. I've
used Dbase3, Visual Fox Pro and a number of free-form databases that never
required this. Zoot for instance is a free-form database PIM that is arguably
just as complex or moreso than Legacy, but I've never had to check or repair
its many separate smart databases, and in 20 years, through disk failures,
crashes, and power failures/surges that burnt out everything else, cloud sync
failures, have never lost an item.
So if you have to re-do the program anyway--and with Utah going
same-sex marriage, you will surely have to--get a stabler database/file system.

We are "keeping count" somewhat, but as Leonard wrote quoting Ken,
it's a major ripping apart of the basic design of Legacy and would be
very time consuming for the programmers. Not only would they have to
restructure Legacy, they would also have to re-code all the other
options based on the restructuring - not to mention the trickle-down
for all the add-on programs.
Sincerely,
