Welcome to Ancestral Quest(tm) To install the program, run install.exe while in Windows. If you downloaded this file from a bulletin board, run aq_demo.exe instead. This is a self- extracting file. You will then want to create an icon for it in the Program Manager to put it on your desktop. aq_demo.exe does not contain the ADAM.EXE file mentioned below. This demo version is the same code as the commercial version, but will not access some features. Certain features are not available at all: Export Blank Forms Cascading Pedigree and Family Groups Descendancy chart (Ancestry chart is quite similar in layout) Individual Summary Individual List sorted alphabetically LDS missing individual ordinances report Modified Register and Ahnentafel reports to File Other features are disabled if your database has grown too large for demo purposes: Add and Save individuals Save marriages All other printouts not listed above Family Reunion Contact Lists Backup Import Database Check/Fix Merge To try this last set of features out, keep your database to less than 30 individuals (or create one by entering new data into a new database, or by using GEDCOM in your existing program to create a subset of data, then import this into Ancestral Quest). If you already have a PAF database, use the open feature to locate it on your disk, and open it. You'll love the new Windows interface (you may even wonder if you're still looking at a PAF database-it will be much easier to work with). Try out the Preferences screen (under the Tools menu). You may want to adjust some of these options. Or open the Help Search option under the Help menu to see what topics you can learn and use. If you're already an experienced Windows user, just have fun! A new option on the Preferences screen allows you to turn the shading on some reports on or off. The shading has the effect on most printers of enhancing readability and appearance. Some printers perform the shading in such a way as to be distracting. You'll have to decide whether shading is something you want, and turn it off if it is a problem. Once you've had a taste of the program, and want to own the full program, you can order it direct from Incline Software, LC, by calling 1-800-825-8864, or find at your local computer software store, or bookstore that carries genealogy software. (Ask for it if they don't have it - they can probably order it for you.) This disk also contains a demonstration database called ADAM.EXE which is a self-extracting .ZIP file. Copy this file into a subdirectory (ex. c:\adam\) then run ADAM.EXE to unzip the files. You can then access the database using the File->Open command in Ancestral Quest. This database goes back to Adam. YOU MAY FREELY DISTRIBUTE THIS DEMO VERSION. ORDERING INFORMATION: Ancestral Quest will normally sell for $69.95.
