GED to html program question

[DrDan99]

I'm in the middle of a single surname study. I have been using FTW 2005,
exporting a GED and then using initially Gedpage and now GED4WEB to create
the files. Neither handles references to my satisfaction. I have multiple
references for much of the data. I also have alternate data that I also
would like to present like alternate birthday, birthplace etc. Genealogical
Site Builder seems to handle the references well but not the alternate data.

Suggestions for programs. I have already paid two shareware fees. I would
like this to be my last. I admit my needs have change so it's my own fault.

See if you can get hold of an old version of GreatFamily, around version
1.1 was free. If you can't find it I might have a copy on a backup CD I
could email to you. Can't remember how it does with references but you
can see a tree I did with it some time ago, at:

If your web host supports PHP, this is great - you puload a GEDCOM; it
indexes it, and creates web pages on the fly. It seems to pull in all
the information from a record.

Thanks, Very nice program but no PHP support on freepages. I'll look around
for free space with PHP support, but I would rather not move if possible.
I'm presently using about 65mb on freepages and have had over 700 hits in
less than 4 months. since I'm presenting the information for free, I really
don't want to pay to give it away. I don't mind buy a program but I don't
like ongoing fees for space.

Regards
Dan

I tryed 2.2 (free 30days). It didn't seem to import the GED fully. The
altermate information and references didn't appear in the program nor in the
htmls.
Does 1.1 do this differently. I did find 1.1 at http://www.filelibrary.com.

Hi Dan,

Take a look at my program, GED-GEN. It handles source citations and
alternate facts.

It's at: http://home.hiwaay.net/~mvoisin/gedgen.html

Mike

Took a look at your GEN-GED page Mike, much more impressive than

GreatFamily, that's where I'll go for the next web version of my tree.
Some of my colleagues (I'm an IT lecturer) have asked why I don't go the
XML way, but it seems to be like using a sledghammer to crack a walnut,
and the learn about XML project is way down the to-do list.
Cheers

BUT ...

GED-GEN is not capable of reading all the files gedcom, even those that
are correct!

----
Extract of "The GEDCOM STANDARD Realease 5.5"

Grammar Syntax
A gedcom_line has the following syntax:

gedcom_line:=
level + delim + [xref_id + delim +] tag + [delim + line_value +]
terminator
level + delim + optional_xref_id + tag + delim + optional_line_value +
terminator

....

terminator:=
The terminator delimits the variable-length line_value and signals the
end of the gedcom_line.
The valid terminator characters are:
[carriage_return | line_feed | carriage_return line_feed | line_feed
carriage_return ]
----

At least first character is enough so that a correct gedcom is not read
by GED-GEN ; o)


Cheers,

Very nice( I should say wonderful). Does exactily what I wanted. I just paid
the shareware fee ($15 appears to be a steal). My file far excess your 500
test limit but it shows me what it can do. I'm not sure what the above
comment is all about, if someone could explain it in english I would
appreciate it.
