Robert--
I Googled for something, and was only able to come up with a small handful
of links to a compressed file called 'GED2ACC.ZIP' (or 'GED2AC.ZIP'). I
downloaded and attempted to run a few of them -- both dated in the mid 90's
-- and wasn't able to. Other than that, nothing, which, given the history of
the web, proves that either the GEDCOM genealogy format didn't cut the
mustard, *or* there's so little call for it that noobdy's bothered
developing software in the past ten years or so.
Not knowing much about the format, what can you tell me? Is it, as I
suspect, a flat file? Are the files ASCII, or binary?

Subject: [mso] OT: Access and Gedcoms ???
Does anyone know of any applications written for Access 2000 that will read
Gedcoms?
I *think* the Gedcoms would have to be converted to some form of table-type
data before Access can make use of it, but if anyone knows of any already
written, I would love to examine it.
Thank you.
Robert
