Hello folks, had the opporunity to show off Gramps to my father-in-law this past weekend. Currently he uses several different spreadsheets to track things, so he was most impressed at easily I was able to do things. Alas, he is does use Linux and is married to Windows. Can you folks offer suggestions for a good windows alternative? Many thanks. -- Gary Major |

It's an LDS program and you'll find it on their site. David -- Registered Linux user #215413 http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~obsidion http://linux.kwister.com |

The other option is to convince Ximian to port their version of the Gnome desktop to win32 <g>. Seriously, though, some GTK Linux apps are being ported over to Windows (Gimp, Gaim, Dia, etc.) Rebel Lion wrote: > On Thu, 14 Nov 2002 03:47, Gary Major wrote: > >>Hello folks, had the opporunity to show off Gramps to my father-in-law >>this past weekend.
