I'm back from the wedding in Vancouver. A wedding is like a vacation for a genealogist. Time to catch up on family happenings in a joyous and friendly atmosphere.

On my computer, there's only 250 e-mails to respond to and a week's worth of RSS feeds to read. I've also got 2.5 GB of trip pictures and videos on my camera that I've got to clean up, organize and send to people.

I've had several small bugs reported in the new version of Behold. I should squash them in the next few days.

Noone reported this one, but on a machine with 3 GB of RAM, I found that the memory dials don't work. The Windows routines I used were old ones that used 32 bit integers and couldn't handle values over 2 GB. I think I've fixed that now, but I won't know for sure until I go back to that machine to test it.

There are "bookmarks" in Behold at every horizontal line, corresponding to every pair of people. I set it up that way when ID numbers had more relevance several versions ago.

But now if you click on a hyperlink to someone, you will go to the first person of the pair, and not necessarily to the person you intended to. Stephen let me know about this in the Behold Discussion Forum.

He's right and this needs reworking. I'm going to set it up so that both people as well as the info for the two of them each get their own bookmark so that links can go to the correct place.

While checking this, I also found a couple of bugs with the forward and backward history which use these bookmarks.

This will take a bit of debugging and some data restructure, but it's worth taking the time now and cleaning up that code.

Fixing the bookmarks was slightly more complicated than I expected.

I had been using the generated ID, eg. FAM-43 as the bookmark. But I saw that was wrong, since those IDs are specific to the run, and reorganizing may lose them or they might point to incorrect places. So I changed this to use the ID from the GEDCOM instead. This way, the bookmarks can be remembered between runs, as long as the GEDCOMs don't change.

But I had to work through each type of bookmark (individual, family, source, place, etc.) one by one to get them working, so its taking time. I'm almost done though, and should be able to wrap this up and move on in a day or two.

Finally! There are now bookmarks for the spouse and the family information. The bookmarks now internally use the GEDCOM ID number rather than the Behold generated number. The hyperlinks and Forward/Backward functions seem to work as they should. The forward/backward locations will deactivate if they cease to exist after the file is reorganized. And the right-mouse clicks select the person at the cursor correctly. That seems to be done and I've fixed a few related bugs along the way. There may be one or two bugs in the new code that I missed, but I'll rigorously test for them during the upcoming beta.

I really didn't want that to take three weeks, but if I work hard, I still may be able to get the beta out by my self-imposed deadline of the end of October, if I'm lucky.

Next: to clean up the error and warning messages in the log file.

Next on my To Do list was to redo the error messages. The idea was that I was going to list each message every time it happened along with the GEDCOM line it happened at.

But what I have already done was nicely organize the messages so that (in most cases) each message is listed only once along with a list of all the places that problem exists. Thinking about this, it actually makes more sense to show a message once with 200 references, rather than to repeat the same message 200 times for each reference.

Since Behold makes an attempt to read and interpret every variation of GEDCOM there is, many people won't care about the problems with the GEDCOMs, and are more interested in the data.

That said, Behold is very good at checking the data. So although the Log file is out of the way, it is valuable. So I will at least try to a better indication of when problems worth fixing have been found.

Sam saw my post from yesterday. He asked: "Why are the reports separate?" He suggested that instead of using the Log File, I display the warning messages in the Everything Report with the related data. For printing, Behold can have a toolbar item to toggle them on and off. He said this would eliminate the need to look at the error log and then search for the error in the main report.

That's a great idea! Basically, I can get rid of the log file completely by including that info in the Everything Report. I never really did like having to create the log file in the first place. But Sam pointed out the obvious that I might never have seen. Thank you, Sam.

The last thing to do before I issue the next release is to eliminate the log file and move the messages that were reported in the log file into the File Information section of the Everything Report.

In doing so, I am revisiting all the error and warning messages that Behold produced. I'm rewriting them and making their text customizable (so different languages can be supported) and making them selectable (so they can be turned off if you don't want them).

I see that I can classify them into two types: Possible GEDCOM problems and possible data errors.

GEDCOM standards have changed over time, and every program outputs its data into GEDCOM in slightly different forms, often not conforming to the latest GEDCOM standard. I've made Behold to be very forgiving so that it reads everything possible. But when Behold reads files that may be GEDCOM but seem to have something wrong with them, Behold will report these to let you know. Maybe the file was truncated or maybe the character set was wrong. But Behold will still read as much data as possible from the file and try to continue processing. Often you can just ignore these GEDCOM errors knowing that Behold will read everything it can.

But you will want to look at the problems reported as possible data errors. These will tell you where you might need to fix your data. For example, there might be duplicate IDs, multiple husbands, missing links or undefined sources. To fix these, you'll need to go into your genealogy program that created the GEDCOM and update your data. When version 2 of Behold is out, you'll be able to fix your data right in Behold.

The messages up to now were are real hodge-podge. I added them as I developed. They are inconsistent in form and style. So I am now turning each into one of the two types: GEDCOM problems and data problems, improving their default text and getting them to work in a consistent way. There are over 50 of these messages, and I'm going through them one by one. This should take a couple of days and then the new release will be out.

So first I was told that Behold was not detecting the new version when you "Check Online for New Version".

What had happened was I went from version 0.98.9d to 0.98.9.5. I changed from the letter suffix to the point number for Vista compatibility.

Version 0.98.9d detects the new version okay, but 0.98.9c, b, or a do not. Those three previous versions checked to see that the running program's version is LESS than the online version. But that's a problem because "." is greater than "a" or "b" or "c" in a computer string comparison. I changed the check in the 0.98.9d version that it be UNEQUAL rather than LESS than. So it's not a problem if you previously had upgraded to 0.98.9d.

The bottom line here is that if you still have the 0.98.9a, b or c versions, you will not be able to use the "Check Online for New Version" to upgrade. Instead, you'll have to go to the Behold download page, click on the "Click Here to Download" and say "Run". That will run the new install file and put the newest 0.98.9.5 version on your machine. You won't have to re-register.

The second problem was that Behold stopped working in Windows 98. I didn't realize that I still had a user using Windows 98, but I do. It ended up being a memory call that I purposely changed so that more than 2 GB could be reported. Unfortunately that call causes an error in Windows 98.

So I found a way to make the correct call depending on the Operating System. Google searches do wonders. It found the method to do this in a forum, and it didn't matter that the forum was in German.

So if you are still running in Windows 98, let me know, and I'll give you a link to the fix you need.

As a car wash owner, you know that providing your customers with high-quality services is key to your success. One service you should consider investing in is a spot-free car rinse system. Here are five reasons why: 

1. Provides a High-Quality Finish A spot-free car rinse system ensures that your customers' vehicles have a high-quality finish after a wash. With a spot-free rinse, no water spots or streaks will be left on the car. This will leave your customers satisfied with the quality of the wash and more likely to return for future services. Your customers will not have to re-wash the windows or body of the car to get rid of water spot stains or streaks. 

2. Saves Time and Money A spot-free car rinse system can save you time and money in the long run. With a spot-free rinse, there's no need to spend extra time drying the vehicle or using additional products to remove water spots. This means you can wash more cars in less time and reduce the labor required. Increasing efficiency is the key to a successful business. 

3. Attracts More Customers A spot-free car rinse system can also help you attract more customers. Customers are more likely to choose a car wash that offers a spot-free rinse over one that doesn't. This is because they know that the spot-free rinse will provide a higher quality finish and protect their vehicle's paint. Offering a high-quality product will help ensure you always have customers waiting to use your car wash. 

4. Protects Paint and Finishes A spot-free car rinse system can help protect your customers' vehicle paint and finishes. Hard water and mineral deposits in regular tap water can damage vehicle paint and finishes over time. A spot-free rinse removes these minerals and protects the paint and finish from damage.

5. Provides a Competitive Edge Finally, investing in a spot-free car rinse system can provide you with a competitive edge. With a spot-free rinse, you can offer a higher-quality wash than your competitors. This can help you stand out in a crowded market and attract more customers. 

In conclusion, a spot-free car rinse system is a valuable investment for any car wash owner. It provides a high-quality finish, saves time and money, attracts more customers, protects paint and finishes, and provides a competitive edge. If you want to improve the quality of your car wash services and attract more customers, consider investing in a spot-free car rinse system.
