Subject: Re: [FO] Long lines in gedcom export
Date: Tue, 02 Nov 1999 20:33:34 -0800


Hi Margaret,

The place my gedcom stopped was on the 1st person, and there were no long
lines in the place it stopped. Just a user-defined fact (PRIVATE NOTES)
which I elected to export for the purpose of trying it out. In the line
where it broke and began a loop, there was no long line, and there were
words where it could have broken the line at any place in the line. But it
didn't...it just kept looping until I stopped it. So fixing all the long
lines won't necessarily fix the problem. I could export the same data in a
gedcom in 7.01, but not in 8.02.
