Steve has already announced that upgrading from Whap! to AP will cost
registered users only $20 – and it's worth it for all the nice new
features.
The Mormans are talking about distributing their information through other
avenues besides their churches, but they have not done it. THey talked
about making the information available on some of the online services such
as CIS – though they did not want to be exclusive, and would have placed
it on several. This did not happen. Now, they are talking about selling
their CD-ROM system to public libraries and perhaps to individuals, but
this is not yet a reality, either. They are not fast to act on such
things, but their information is excellent once they decide to do it.
They do sell their microfiche records at very reasonable prices. When the
next release is made (before the end of the year, they say) I hope to buy
the fiche for several areas in which I'm interested. I am not a member of
their church, but I do appreciate all their genealogical materials and the
fact that they let anyone use them.
