Thanks for the response.

Well, I guess I was remembering how technological changes can do us in.
Remember 8 track tapes, or ibm punch cards? How can we access the
information on them now?

Talking to the History Room librarian, and she says the only thing they put
their faith in is laser printing on archival paper.

But I still ask my original question....what type of paper reports are the
experienced users of GENBOX producing? Something one might give to a
Library of the local genealogical collection? to a relative that doesn't
have a computer or doesn't want one? It seems as if people are creating
sentences that would appear in a printed report, and I just wanted to see or
hear of an example of a very complicated one with witnesses, levels of
places, etc., etc.
