Dear List

Well, I certainly haven't and would like to see this function urgently. I
think it is a high priority for the wish-list (has this list closed yet for
v2.1?)

I see from an archive email back in June ("Early Problems", June 9th) that
Simon indicated the workaround was to copy data from the lesser to the
greater individual record, then delete the lesser. Apart from being tedious,
does this work where both records have links e.g. one is top of a tree and
the other at the bottom of another tree? It also sound from Julia that even
the record deletion process is not without risk.

and>> I don't know about the rest of you, but I would really appreciate some
indication of what is definitely going to be fixed/added in the upgrade
and when it is likely to appear.

Yes, some clue as to the date would be useful. Before Xmas??
