Family Trees Quick & Easy 5.0

Rating:
Summary: Easy to get started with
Review: I have not used any other software, and at this time don't intend to. The program was ridiculously easy to install and has been stable as a rock (run under both Win 98 and Win NT). The variety of reports is impressive, but the interface for formating the reports is somewhat arcane. Entering data is a snap and for the most part obvious.
The previous reviewer noted it was difficult to save, but I do not understand the comment. The software does not give a save option, it automatically saves in a proprietary format. You do have the option of exporting the data to more general formats, which I have used to exchange data with other people.
To sum up, the software can't be beat for the price.

Summary: There must be something better.
Review: I've found this to be anything but Quick and Easy. Entering data is straightforward enough, but then try saving and opening it--you have to "export" it, and then Windows doesn't recognize the file type. And it kep shutting down. ... Looks like another coaster. ---This review refers to the CD-ROM edition.
