Stripped Down Gedcom/ GR Dates

Post by TimTreeby » 06 Sep 2006 22:21

Following on from comments made by other people i have just written a very basic program which will strip a Gedcom file down to just Birth-Bap/Chr-Death-Burial-Marr Info. i.e just date and place of the event. It will also convert Quarter Dates to the End of quarter so Q1 1888 is changed to JAN 1888. In theory this should solve any problems with GR.
If any wants a copy i am quite willing to share the program. Also i would be willing to put Events/Attributes to be stripped as Selectable.
Although it works on my machine would need to test on a clean machine first to make sure it works.
Does write as a new GEDCOM so will not overwrite your current one.

Hi Tim, if you want FHUG to host it once it's complete let me know.

If you want to put an easy installer around it try Inno Setup, makes install builds a doddle.
