Subject: fname to search in the names of a gedcom file for a substring
<br><br>
Dear Doug - 
I just finished writing a small DOS utility program that allows you to 
search in the names of a gedcom file for a substring. the program 
has three algos implemented, one for exact search, one for 
soundex-like search and one for an approximate search, where you 
can specify a given number of mistakes form an exact match. I 
thought that this might also be useful for some of the other people 
working on long term fieldsites when they have to match new 
information to a given data set. it is currently limited to 8000 names 
but that can be increased.
<br><br>
best to both of you and have a nice (holi??) day,
michael
