[NTLK] genealogy solution (8-month tardy reply)

[Bob Carls Dudney]

Very elegant system, Doug.

You may know but others might appreciate knowing MoreInfo has similar 
functionality built in.

I use its link function with custom labels, e.g: parent:child,* to 
link all sorts of related name cards. Very handy for keeping track of 
patients' family members (children, current and former significant 
others, relatives, linking cards of spouses with different last 
names, etc.).

*Set one card as parent or child and other card is automatically 
labelled its cognate.

I presume similar functionality is available on other platforms -- 
does anyone know of such?

My Newton-dominated computer familiarity knows of nothing else like.
