If what Robin tells
Bob -
I've had similar problems. During the installation the wizard comes to a page where the installation directory is specified. If you do have space on another drive or partition, you can change the location from that screen. It can be done. You still need sufficient space on C: for temporary files that are copied/created during the installation, though, and after the installation there is a very large ".msi" file (the size of the downloaded FTST installation file) left behind in the C:\windows\inst
Good morning - Is there a way to include other WEB sites into the automatic
search activated by the Quick Search on the Webb button?
If not, is Bob taking suggestions for sites? or searches?

Is there a way to print (hard copy) the Master Place List? I just spent 3
hours making corrections and still found errors. I figure if I could print
out the one I now have, it would make it easier if I have to re-import the
dataset....
TIA

Shirley,
See response mixed with your questions...

I don't think so. It turns out that making a valid search URL can be tricky, and
therefore, hard to expose to the user for custom additions.

I don't really know, but it can't hurt to post requests here. You could also

FTST web search opens Explorer by default. Can I convince it to open
Netscape which is my preference?
Thanks for any help.

Beverly (& Elizabeth),
I tested this, and got the same result. I switched my browser from MSIE to
Netscape by letting Netscape switch settings for me. I checked that Netscape
was truly the default browser by opening some ".HTM" files from Windows

This is usually caused by bugs in your printer driver.
Use the File->Print Preview to look at what FTST (VCF) thinks that it going
to print. Is there a problem showing there? Is there a difference between
what is shown there and what is printed? Have you go

Thanks Lee,
I have about 4000 folks in my database and the other sorts take about 2
to 3 seconds.
I will let Tech Support know my problem.
Thanks,

Mike & Richard,
Many thanks for your replies. Unfortunately the outside world rudely
intruded upon my FTST investigations and I am only returning today, so
my apologies for not replying to you both earlier.
The Exhibits Log takes me roughly 30 seconds to fire up (a LONG time
subjectively and if you are trying to follow a sequence of thoughts on
the screen). The images I have there often stimulate associated ideas
which I would like to follow up - eg: how have I recorded X's wedding

Hi Bob,
The first suite of programs I owned fit on a 176 Kilobyte floppy. I
fear that those days are long gone. Most programs on CD need at least
three times the program size free for installation. Since FTST is not
on a CD, that means the download is taking up space also. If you have
a CD-R or Zip drive, you MIGHT get FTST to install on G: drive. One
factor is that your Temp folder is on C: drive.
Will TMG5 be smaller? I don't see how it could be unless Bob were to
write it in a different language an
Something I've just discovered and I'm not sure whether it is a conversion
error or bug.
I notice that for any given parent who have children the surety value of
any child changes position from position "1" to "2". In other words where I
have a child X who in TMG had a relationship surety value with his parents
of 2 in position 1(12DPM), the value stayed the same but changed to position 2.
I hope this makes sense to someone and that they can offer an explanation.
I can send up a screen shot if neccessary.
I just wanted to mention that I have been unable to install FTST
because of the ridiculous requirement for 100Mb of free space on the
C: drive. I'm running on a laptop and don't have that space available
on my C: drive. I could make it available someplace else such as on my
g: drive, but it doesn't give me that option.
Mainly I'm mentioning this because I am hoping that TMG 5 will not
have the same stupid requirement. Being so inflexible on where it
looks for free space is something out of the dark ages of
Dear Santa Claus,
What I *really* would like to have underneath my Christmas
tree this year is Version 5 of TMG. But if your software developer
elves are extra busy this time of year, please leave a note promising
that you can deliver it near GENTECH or the NGS Conference. I
understand that you and your software elves are very busy people this
time of year.
As a stocking stuffer, however, perhaps you can leave Version
1.2 of Family Tree SuperTools. My wish for Version 1.2 of FTST is
that you extend t

I am having difficulty getting more than one accent color to appear
at same time.
for instance:
Using the Accent Definition screen, I put dot in Accent names by ALL
matching conditions.
then I set the direct ancestors of first person = blue, and it works
fine,
Then I write the accent condition for second person
such as direct ancestors of second person = green
If I click Add button, it adds a blank line,
If I click Insert button, it inserts the first condition again.
I am unable to move the second condi
Woops! Forget my request, I read the TMG instructions and there it

It is the same as TMG5 (not yet released) will be. It has a lot of
similarities with TMG4 (the current product) but it not the same,
especially with respect to the independence of the various windows. There
is a downloadable slideshow demo of TMG on our site and you can see screen
shots there .

For your information Lee,
I uninstalled and reinstalled FTST and now everything appears to be
working normally.
Must have had some bad file in there some where. Still using my same
database file so at least I know it isn't the problem.
Thanks for your help.

I recently generated a new TIMELINE and placed the new TIMELINE in my
TMG/TIMELINE subdirectory.
I had already chosen (I thought) for FTST to read the TIMELINES from my
TMG/TIMELINE subdirectory instead of the FTST/TIMELINE location.
I found to my amazement that FTST (at least on my installation) did not
even try to look in my TMG/TIMELINE subdirectory but instead would
always look in the FTST/TIMELINE subdirectory no matter what I entered
in the Preference section.
Did I do something wrong or is this a p
