A couple of comments on the information previously given on the
"Personal Ancestral File" software from the LDS (Mormon) Church.

I think the above may be an error.  The LDS Church's genealogical
department's telephone number is (801)531-2584 -- 801 being the area
code for Utah.  This is *not* a toll-free number (unless you live in
Salt Lake City).

The current catalog number for the MS-DOS version is PBGS1176.  It's
also available in Apple II and Kaypro CP/M versions.

You don't need "The Church of the Latter-Day Saints" in the address;
in any case, it's "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints".

Rather than just send in your order, I would urge you to call the
Genealogical Department first.  Although the base price of the soft-
ware is $35, orders in several states (including California) require
state/local sales tax too.  Check first to see if this applies to you.

Also, here's some additional info.  The minimum hardware/software
requirements for the MS-DOS version of PAF 2.0 are as follows:

==> 2 floppy drives (or, I assume, 1 floppy and a hard disk).
==> 256K RAM.
==> DOS 2.0 or later.
==> A printer that can print in "compressed" (17 chars/inch) mode (for
    doing reports on 8-1/2 x 11 paper).  If you have a wide-carriage
    printer (14 x 8-1/2 paper), you can use 12 chars/inch.
