PRESS RELEASE: GedStar Pro V3.0 GHCS Software announces the release of GedStar Pro V3.0, an update of their premier genealogy software package for PalmOS handheld devices. The major new feature in version 3 is support for the display of pictures on the handheld as an integral part of the genealogy data. Pictures can be imported directly from The Master Genealogist and Legacy Family Tree, as well as from GEDCOM files that contain links to picture files. The user has some control over which pictures are converted, and all included pictures are automatically resized and compressed for efficient storage on the PDA. With a single tap, users can view pictures associated with individuals, events, sources, and repositories. The initial release supports pictures in the popular JPEG and BMP formats, but support for more formats is expected in the near future. “The newer PalmOS devices have more memory, faster processors, and high-resolution color screens, which allowed us to finally implement this frequently asked-for feature,” said Doug Gordon, proprietor of GHCS. “We believe that GedStar Pro is the only genealogy program on any handheld platform to support this capability.” The list price for GedStar Pro was recently reduced to only USD $24.95, and the new version is a free update for all existing owners of earlier versions of the product. The product website can be viewed at http://www.gedstarpro.com. The contact email address is ghcs@ghcssoftware.com. === Updated: PathWiz v6 ========================== The following announcement is from Bryan Wetton of BeeSoft: RELEASE NOTICE RE: TMG Utility - PATHWIZ!
