Subject: [TMG] Tag to Flag
Date: Sun, 2 Jul 2000 00:51:22 EDT

After 15 years with Family Roots, have finally converted my date to TMGW
format.

1) It is glaringly evident to me now that my old "User Defined Field" "CID,"
which was "converted" to a Tag and now occupies the first line of each Person
Record, is a tremendous waste of space. Since it is a numeric field counting
back from myself as "1, parents "2," etc., it will never exceed two digits.
It can easily be converted to a one character code: 1....9, A, B, ....Z. (I
have no expectation of ever finding any ancestor on the 37th generation!)
Question: How can I move data from a Tag to a Flag?

2) Find I have lots of "garbage" in many Name Fields. Seem to be able to
correct (change) most anything but the name. How do I do it?
