Hi Folks Thanx to those who replied. I'll keep looking.
One site of interest I found is: http://www.gensoftreviews.com/ Many programs I looked at are MS Windows-only, or PHP-only, or commercial (on-line) operations, or manipulate GEDCOM files but do not have a web interface. I did not restrict the original request because I wanted to see what turned up. And of course it could be days or weeks before some people respond. I'll study Michael Ionescu's code too. I have written a number of search engine-type apps recently, so the coding would not be too hard, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel. So, in the short term I'll keep thinking about this, rather than, say, doing something silly like writing Perl :-). -- Ron Savage http://savage.net.au/ Ph: 0421 920 622
