LifeLines Users: Welcome to you as user of the genealogical database "LifeLines". For a period of time, my system 'csoftec' will serve as a collection point for the reports of LifeLines. I have been using the program for about 2 years. Dr. Thomas Wetmore, (Tom), just sent me Email, with information that he has 24 users now. This letter will be sent to all LINES users today. I now have aliases for each of you. A file has been prepared which has 18 additional reports, to include descriptions, and sample outputs of most. I ask that each one of you please reply to me, via Email, so I know we have communications and PLEASE include answers to the following questions.. I will be sending the reports in one 65k byte file. It will be in packed format, combined with the tar utility, then uuencoded. Questions: 1. Do you have a 'pack/unpack' utility ? 2. Do you have a 'tar' utility ? 3. Do you have a 'uuencode/uudecode' utility ? As I receive a reply, from each, I will Email you the set of reports. Please send me a note, questions, comments PRO or CON at anytime, and we will all benefit from using Tom's program. Awaiting your reply ! ! Again Welcome, later.. Cliff Manis
