You should contact MVP about upgrading to YFT 2.2. I haven't had a single
problem with it. Unfortunately, it still doesn't support GEDCOM, but this
is coming. The display still has a WB 1.3 look to it, but it's worked
without a hitch all the way up through WB 3.0.
It prints quite well on the NEC 3550 daisywheel I've got (which I like
because it takes that WIDE printer paper) using an Alphacom Aplahpro 101
driver.
Stay cool B-)

Larry,
I'm still not convenced. The lack of ability to exchange files with
anyone (unless they are running YFT) is just too debilitating. There are
much better programs for doing genealogies. At least two of them do have
GEDCOM support and one of them evens attempts to convert YFT to its own
format for you (although I had limited success getting YFT to read its own
format consistantly, so I don't really fault the program for failing at
this task). I don't know if they have cleaned up the printing in YFT 2.2
but YFT 2 doesn't do the job at all. Having to set the printer macro and
set PREFS to get a truncated listing where the fields are not even aligned
(take the date message for birth and death for example) is just too much
of a headache. Nope, I'd look for something else. But all these things
are pretty much subjective anyway.
Cool in the desserts of Southern California
