I have read several RBBS messages and have a copy of the spec. for
Tiny-Tafels. This is a format for exchanging information on the
family names being search. One message said the original design
is from an artical in the Apr-May-June '86 issue of Genealogical Computing.
I have not seen this artical. The format happens to be close to one
I use in my own database. Can anyone tell me what software is available
for generating and reading this format? I have seen the TTGEN command
for manually building a database just for Tiny-Tafels, but I can generate
them with a small change to my existing database software. Is there
software available that compares them looking for matches?

Thanks for any help!
