IGI255 or similar

Greetings,

Back in the "old" days when one downloaded stuff
at FHCs onto a floppy disk from the IGI CDs, you brought
it home and put it through a little DOS program called
IGI255 - great little beastie.

Nowadays you download stuff online from the IGI onto
your computer as *.GED, the problem is finding
something to take that file and turn it into something
meaningful, hopefully trying to creat some sort of
possible family relationships from the data.

It seems that IGI2555 cannot handle these
downloaded *.GEDs properly as while it apparently
goes through the motions, when you get to the
part where you can look at the output, nothing
there mate.

I have checked the *.DBF files with a data
base proggie that can accept DBase output
and while it creates the named fields brilliantly
there are no data !!!!

Maybe given the age of IGI255 it does not
know about the latest GED version.

Anyone got any ideas about this, or any
other program capable of the sort of
thing that IGI255 was designed to do.

Looks like Mike StClair has stopped
maintaining his list like he used too.

Tom
