Thanks to all who replied on the gedcom import problem. I couln't find my
editing program that I havn't used in years but I did find a method that worked. I
loaded the gedcom into word 97 and did a global search and destroy on the
paragraph mark. Saved the file as plain text now TMG can read the gedcom without
data loss.
