I am wondering why a GEDCOM produced with Legacy 8 using the Gedcom 5.5
option does not use the GEDCOM tag ALIA for Alternate names?

Rather the GEDCOM file reads like this for the alternate name:
1 NAME Boy /Thornton/
2 GIVN Boy
2 SURN Thornton

This is the exact same format used for the main name of the individual
which in this case reads like this:
1 NAME John /Thornton/
2 GIVN John
2 SURN Thornton

Can this be fixed to include the ALIA tag, for alternate names, does anyone
know.

Thank you.
