A friend of mine is taking a geneology course. The instructor has
said that they should use a program for their work. Unfortunately
the instructor is using (and is only familiar with) IBMPC type 
programs. 

My friend called me and asked for help. I looked in the back of 
a recent issue of MacUser. I came up with "Reunion" and "Roots
and Branches". Reunion is published by Leister Productions of 
Mechanicsburg Pa. Roots and Branches is from GSC, Dept M of Fairfield Iowa.
Reunion was reviewed(?) for 4.5 mice in Steve Bobker's column of 10/90. 
I have this article and the review is cursory at best. The Roots and 
Branches program I have no knowledge of. 

I have two questions.
	1. Does anyone know of any other programs for the Mac which 
	   are designed for geneology? If you have any experience with
	   them, how would you rate them and why?
	2. How would you rate Reunion and Roots and Branches? What were
	   your dealings with their respective publishers like.

Thanks in advance.
