Lee,

FYI

I ordered TMG Gold Edition v4.0a Competitive Upgrade for UFT users directly
from Wholly Genes in October 2000. Included with it was Disc #2 which
contained the Ancestry Genealogy Library which could be installed as an
external utility. If I remember correctly, at that time the default
directory for TMG was C:\TMGW. When the version 5 upgrade came out, as well
as thereafter, I believe the default directory became C:\Program Files\The
Master Genealogist. I would suspect that many users had set things up
correctly under version 4.0a for using the Ancestry Genealogy Library. Due
to its limitations as a resource, many may have stopped using it by the time
5.0 was released. More than likely it wasn't until version 6.05 started
generating errors and Jim Byram investigated the source that people
remembered that it was ever there. I don't believe, as you seem to be
saying, that users had not correctly entered the External Utility.

The External Utilities feature was never in v4.x, it first appeared in v5.0.
If you did not add an External Utility in v5.x then it is not in
v6.05 unless you decide to add an External Utility later.

The feature itself does not have a bug. The "bug" is really that TMG v6.05
is now finding a problem that had been there all along since v5.0. And in
reality, the bug was really an error on the part of the user when they
entered an incorrect External Utility. If the user-added External Utility
was entered correctly then there is no problem.

In earlier versions of TMG, the error-checking system ignored an improperly
entered External Utility menu entry. You can test this by opening the
APP.INI file (in the The Master Genealogist folder) (use NOTEPAD to do
this) and placing the following entry at the end of the file:
[ExternalUtilities]
Utilities2=NotePad,C:\system32\notepad.exe
